Verdict

There is a race to be won with Ravenscar and he must enter calculations here, but we will take a chance on Mister Felix, with Celtic Boy and Callmecozmo also expected to go well. The selection pulled up last time in a top event at Newbury following a couple of dodgy jumps, but had previously finished a close up third behind Mr Fluffy at Kempton. If he jumps like we know he can he will be difficult to beat here. Celtic Boy has taken on much better opposition in two events this season and should be capable of getting into the action here. Callmecozmo is the dark horse in the line up. He was most impressive when landing a bumper at Chepstow last March and was highly tried on his chase debut last month. He will improve for that effort and should be in the shake up. Ravenscar finished second to Willie The Fish in a handicap last time and he will probably have to settle for place money again today. This is a very tricky contest, but Mr Felix looks the best alternative and he gets a tentative vote
