Forget And Forgive and Vering appear to have lost the plot but Blackwood Rover finished ahead of Bob's Legend when third again at Southwell last month, though the latter should have benefited from that run and is capable of better. OWNER OCCUPIER hasn't won for more than a year and is better treated over hurdles but he chased home Quadriller in a better race over course and distance last time and a repeat of that effort would probably suffice.
