Verdict
CAPTAIN FELIX won over track and trip in November and was narrowly beaten in an amateurs' race last time. Hayley Moore can steer him home in this. Power Up landed a double under today's rider during the summer and has since won again at Chelmsford while Estibdaad scored over course and distance in October and Mediate went close over today's trip at Pontefract earlier. Commissar has won for an amateur this year and is another to consider back on the Polytrack after a racing at Southwell without success.
