Feeling Peckish has won one of his 138 career starts and is 26lb out of the handicap. Minmore Grey was a modest pointer and has not improved racing under Rules. Some Finish won twice on heavy going at Leicester last year but has been pulled up in five of his last seven runs so something is clearly amiss. KAPRICORNE gets the nod by default, therefore, even though he’s only been placed three times in 15 starts over fences. He wasn’t beaten far over course and distance last month and has been dropped another pound since.
Some Finish (IRE) 6-1 (10-3) Jumped right at times, prominent until slow jump 2nd, chased leaders, lost place 6th, behind 8th, pulled up after 4 out, at Market Rasen 2m 3f hcp (4) gs in Mar.
Kapricorne (FR) 6-1 (10-6) Held up behind, headway before 6 out, in 3rd before 2 out, one pace and no impression, 4th of 9, 3 1/4l behind General Girling (11-1) at Towcester 3m hcp (5) sft in Mar.
Minmore Grey (IRE) 16-1 (10-3) Prominent, jumped slowly throughout, weakened before 4 out, 5th of 6, 36l behind How's Vienna (10-10) at Wincanton 3m 3f hcp (5) gs in Mar.
Feeling Peckish (USA) 200-1 (10-0) Always towards rear, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out, at Southwell 3m 2f hcp (5) gs in Dec.
