FORGOTTEN VOICE comes into this race off a fine winning performance and is taken to follow up at the expense of Dubai Dynamo and Multakka. The selection took eighteen months off the track after winning his maiden at Lingfield back in October 2007. He returned from injury to score over course and distance last time out. He has risen eights pounds in the ratings since that last victory but we feel he still has more to offer and if he recaptures his form he will take all the beating once again. Dubai Dynamo is four pound higher since winning here over course and distance last time out. He still looks potentially well treated and should once again be in the shake up so any market support should be noted. Multakka won twice last season but failed to win off his current mark when last seen out here in November so is possibly best watched on his return to the track. So for the winner we return to Forgotten Voice.
