PLAY SMARTER
FELTON BELLEVUE has taken well to chasing this season, yet to finish out of the top 2 in 5 starts so far. The 7-y-o scored readily at Market Rasen last month and a 10lb rise in the weights might not be enough to prevent him winning again. Our Idic Boy is built to make a chaser and is feared most having been in good form over hurdles, while Leskinfere is respected under a penalty for his recent C&D win.
