Forecasts

Feelgood Island (3/1), Stand Off (10/3), Bythesametoken (4/1), Hybery (11/2), Tucanae (13/2), Humaniste (8/1), Fauguernon (8/1), Take All (9/1), Gold Des Bois (16/1), Wolfofallstreets (25/1), Flindt (28/1)

Verdict

FEELGOOD ISLAND is on an upward curve and, having been outstayed over 19f at Naas last time, he could well pull out more still back at this trip for his handicap debut. In-form Bythesametoken is a danger and Hybery warrants consideration back from a break.
