Verdict

L'INGANNO FELICE is relatively lightly-raced for a five-year-old and may well be up to defying a 6lb rise having returned a clear winner at Newcastle last time. Save The Bees ended a long losing run with a win at Carlisle and is harder to fancy upped 5lb but Commissar should go well off his current mark on the back of a third at Pontefract. The Character scored over track and trip off a similar mark last season and is preferred to Modernism while Ela Goog La Mou tends to save her best for Yarmouth.
