Feel The Pride continues to defy the handicapper and is taken to do so again with Tisho and Avitta rated the main dangers in an interesting handicap. The selection has progressed from novice-company into handicaps, winning her last two in comfortable fashion and Jonjo O'Neill's mare looks the bet to complete a hat trick racing off just a 5lb higher mark than for her most recent success at Ayr. Tisho has a 6lb penalty to carry for her win in a Newbury novice event last time and looks to have plenty of weight for what she has achieved. The Venetia Williams-trained Avitta has not been seen since falling three out, when travelling well, at Perth in May but looks well enough treated to take a hand provided that she is fit enough. Iambe de La See ran well after a lengthy absence when third at Newbury in November and has to be respected with the stable of Nicky Henderson in such good form at present. Robert Alner's Kadara is not certain to appreciate the drop in trip and of more interest could be Dancing Pearl for who Tony McCoy has been booked. At the bottom of the handicap, Cool Spice and Celtic Blaze are both worthy of a mention but the vote goes to the hat trick seeking Feel The Pride.
