Verdict
Pour Une Raison won here in November before failing to cope with heavy going on a return visit but FELTON BELLEVUE shaped with more promise going handicapping at Fontwell and a 2lb drop since is a bonus. Shoot To Fame is a handicap debutant to note while Motts Cross was just touched off over 3m at Taunton and was also second over this track and trip earlier, though continues to creep up the weights. Et Apres Thou’s second at Wincanton was a career best and Amzac Magic won here last month but is now 5lb higher.
