HANDHELD finished a close-up fourth against better opposition the last time he raced over course and distance. Julia Feilden's charge may come out best with a similar effort today. Comedy House has been threatening to score over longer distances of late, while May's Boy has been getting closer over the shorter trip of a mile. Recent Wolverhampton winner Final Delivery has a tougher task in this along with Stag Hill, who has been placed in his last four starts, so Manomine could prove best of the rest.
