      Verdict

      FELIX initiated a hat-trick at Newmarket then won at this level here on Boxing Day before winning with a bit in hand at Lingfield. He's up another 5lb but holds Victory Bond on that last run and a four-timer looks on the cards. Kaser has won five times in his career, all on this track, though this is the first time he's run at Class 2 level. He's very closely matched with Sha La La La Lee on their 1-2 here last month. Rangali Island has battled on strongly to land two Class 4 handicaps on Polytrack but takes on better company while Universal Gleam disappointed at Lingfield after scoring there earlier.
