Verdict
Another wide open handicap rounds off the card with many in with chances on their best form but the principals look to be Amir Zaman, Fight The Feeling and Final Dividend and we will take a chance on Fight The Feeling. The five year old was a fair third behind Sashay last time out appearing not to stay the longer trip. The drop back in distance is sure to suit and off what still looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Amir Zaman rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Mi Odds but he will find this harder under his penalty. Final Dividend is also worthy of respect he has dropped to a fair mark but on a line through Mi Odds he has plenty to find with Amir Zaman. Of the remainder Lough Bow is from a very shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market while Claptrap has plenty of ability but does not like to use it so we are happy to stick with Fight The Feeling.
