This drop back in trip looks a good move where I FEEL FINE is concerned and he earns the vote in what looks a wide-open handicap. He travelled well for much of the journey before running out of petrol over 19f at Limerick last time and had previously taken a step forward when unseating at the second-last at the same venue (still bang there at the point of unshipping his rider). Boston Bobby, who hit the target here last time, is feared most ahead of Might Be The One.
