FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - A beaten favourite last time out, FEELGOOD ISLAND appears worthy of each-way support. He may only have one win from eight outings to his name, but the No Risk At All gelding looks a lovely young prospect and the expectation would be that he’ll fly higher as a chaser, when his attentions are turned in that direction. Liz Doyle’s charge has still attained a decent rating of 127 at this game, which leaves him with a bit to find with Heather Rocco (134). However, on better ground over an extended two and a half miles there could be more to come from Feelgood Island, which may enable him to better some closely matched opponents. Though she only has a rating of 110 Gelee Blanche seems progressive and shouldn’t be underestimated.
