FEELIN FOXY can take this competitive handicap at the main expense of Freepressionist and Matterofact. Matterofact was made favourite over this course and distance a week ago, but was denied room at a crucial stage. Previous wins have come with cut in the ground, and she may be found wanting close home. A maiden winner at Wolverhampton in November, Freepressionist has not been a winner since. However, she has shown signs of a recovery in her last two starts, and a sliding handicap mark gives her a chance. Feelin Foxy has not won in over a year, but she ran a fine race in defeat last time, finishing a close third having come from off the pace behind a speedy type. Feelin Foxy is hard to win with, but recent consistent efforts suggest her winning turn can arrive here.
