FEEL THE PINCH was travelling well here last month when falling a couple of hurdles from home. He’s switched yards since but won this last year and looks set to make another bold bid granted a clear round. Ballabawn is likely to be in the mix again after a better effort here last time while Kings Justice also finished closer at Doncaster having slipped down the weights. The remainder will need to step up on recent efforts though Scherbobalob may well do so making his handicap debut.
