A competitive affair but PERFECT LEADER travels strongly in his races so gets the nod as he posted a soft ground success in March and is receiving weight from all but one of his rivals. Feeling The Love has taken to chasing and moves into handicaps for the first time and Successor impressed last time. Mega Mindy is also a threat as the Hanlon mare would have been the choice here but for the doubt that this trip may prove on the sharp side.
