Fight The Feeling can get back to winning ways over Squirtle Turtle and Our Destiny, with Robbie Can Can better for the run. James Unett's six-year-old is the only course and distance winner in the line-up, and since having his sights lowered lately, has showed signs of an imminent return to the winner's enclosure. His most recent effort a fortnight ago was in similar company to todays, and although he could do with a little help from the handicapper, Fight The Feeling is sure to make his presence felt. Squirtle Turtle beat Delta Force a neck at Southwell a month ago and on a line through the latter, has the beating of the selection. However, that was his first ever success and he has since been beaten out of sight over hurdles at Folkestone. Our Destiny's rider put up four pounds overweight when he was beaten a short-head by Scottish River over shorter here a fortnight ago, so he can be considered unlucky not to have gained his third course win. The other two victories were both gained off much lower marks though, and he may only be capable of reaching the frame. Robbie Can Can signed off his Flat campaign with a win at Brighton in October and has since been in action over hurdles, most recently when second in amateur company at Leicester in January. He is not out of it entirely, but Fight The Feeling is the one for us.
