Kafeel followed up a victory at Kempton with a course and distance success but is upped a further 4lb. He had to work hard before prevailing last time and FEEL THE VIBES is preferred in this. The latter has yet to win but started last year off a 13lb higher mark and ran well on his reappearance having undergone a wind operation in the interim. Tabla has a tougher task than when winning over track and trip last time so recent runner-up Mette is preferred while No Approval has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double at Dundalk in December.
