The feature race of the day is another very tricky puzzle for punters to get to grips with, but there may just be a little more to come from Stallone and he is taken to land the hat-trick here. The ultra consistent Tight Squeeze will not go down without a fight and, along with Oldenway and Graft, is well worth considering if supported on course. However, Tony Hamilton is building up a good working relationship with selection, and the partnership could easily defy the 6lb rise after winning at Newcastle last time. Oldenway is also well treated on the pick of his form, but will do well to get the better of Stallone whilst his confidence is on such a high.
