Verdict
Feel Like De Baune is penalised for winning at Carlisle though should still confirm running with King Of Unicorns and Barley Breeze, who were both well beaten. But KINGFISHER LANE may well take advantage of the weight concession having finished runner-up at Downpatrick back in May and the Irish raider gets the vote with Brian Hughes’ presence another positive. Dondiam is a point-to-point winner sold for £50,000 and is related to a bumper winner.
