Felix Leiter has won the last three of his four starts and defied a 6lb rise to score at York. He's gone up another 7lb for that victory and will be fortunate to beat ROOSSEY (NAP) again on these terms as William Haggas' lightly-raced youngster was denied a clear run at a crucial stage on the Knavesmire yet was beaten less than two lengths. Gun Case was seemingly unfancied for a Newmarket maiden last month but showed a very good attitude to make a successful debut and the assessor could have erred with a mark of 80. Don Sigfredo came good at Chester but a 9lb rise looks harsh and Teruntum Star was put in his place in the Gimcrack, though this is much less demanding.
