Martin Keighley's yard have been among the winners lately and his FAULTLESS FEELINGS has been running well in handicaps lately. Back in novice company, the seven-year-old can finally get off the mark as he proved he stays this trip at Warwick 11 days ago. In The Binyanis has won over 3m between the flags and now gets the chance to show his stamina over hurdles after a couple of runs over shorter. He won a Punchestown bumper around this time last year. Deciding Moment has shown enough to suggest he can also get involved in this finale but Cyrien Star needs more. Mr Gee Jay and Fannythewundahorse have scope but may require more time.
