Verdict

WHITE FEATHERS deserves a change of fortune and should get it here. She hasn't been beaten far in any of her three races over timber and was slightly unfortunate when a head behind Cause Of Causes over 2m3f here last week. Westhaven, who was eight lengths back in third, looks even less likely to be suited by the shorter trip and the places should be confirmed. Suspect Device was behind the selection earlier at Downpatrick so it could be the newcomer Passion Planet, who hasn't been in bad form at Dundalk, who is more of a threat.
