Fast Felix hasn't been beaten far in his last three and should reach a place again. Pay The Tab was beaten 12 lengths when third over the track and trip but should also get involved. His stable also run the newcomer Lazy Bones, who is bred for chasing. QUINT MAJOR's five-length second to Firefox here last month is the stand-out form here as the winner was completing a hat-trick of bumper victories and has since won over hurdles. Mongibello looks the obvious main threat after an excellent bumper debut behind the well-supported Only For Night in a Navan Listed contest.
