Fealing Real followed up decent efforts in points to win under rules last time out and Richard The Third has run well at this course before, but our selection is WEATHER PERMITTING. Our pick has not shown his best efforts under rules but between the flags has been very good. If he can translate that ability then he could have enough to see off the competition. Richard The Third is becoming familiar with this track and won earlier in the year here. There are reservations over the conditions as he may like a bit of cut in the ground. Fealing Real comes here in winning form and could pose a very real danger to our selection. It was a very good win last time at Hereford and he was never off the bridle. Over hurdles today a good effort will be likely. However we tentatively side with Weather Permitting to grab the victory.
