Verdict
Fight the Feeling looks the one to follow here with Saintly Thoughts and Ellipop the others worthy of consideration. Our selection is a course winner from a shrewd yard, but his best from to date has been over 12 furlongs. If he stays this extra distance he will be hard to beat. Saintly Thoughts is game and consistent but looks to be in the handicapper's grip at present. He should go well but will do well to get the better of Fight the Feeling. Ellipop is interesting and should appreciate this step up in trip but is another that could be a little high in the weights at present. This is an interesting race and we will take a chance on Fight the Feeling who should win if he stays this extended trip.
