Verdict
Cheltenam De Vaige had to be ridden out to score by half-a-length over course and distance earlier this month so the 5lb higher mark is a worry. Rebel Leader has placed in three of his four starts under Rules, including on his chasing bow last time, and won a point. Battle Of Ideas is only 2lb higher then when scoring over track and trip in June of last year but he jumped poorly on his comeback at Stratford. Between The Waters should be approaching peak fitness and Hurricane Arcadio was second last time at Uttoxeter, though that was over 3m. FENLONS COURT (NAP) probably didn’t beat much here last month but has only been raised 3lb and is arguably still well handicapped.
