Another tight handicap for punters to fathom with the principals looking to be Little Task, Feanor and Hamadeenah and we will take a chance on Feanor. The Five-year-old won in good style over course and distance last time out when defeating Royal Amaretto and despite rising in the weights he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Little Task rates the main danger. He has been running in chases of late and returns to hurdles off what looks a fair mark so any market confidence should be noted. Hamadeenah could also go well as he was a good second behind Drakestone last time but has a two month absence to overcome and may just need the run. Of the remainder, Domenico is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the in-form Feanor.
