Green Prospect is streets ahead of these on the figures and we will take him ahead of Little Tobias and Forbearing. He probably found the trip of 2m3f too far last time out but this typical Martin Pipe trailblazer is there to be sold and will doubtless be the one they all have to beat. Little Tobias is very much at his grade. He runs well but was beaten here in a similar event in July by a horse with a rating of just 69. He will need others to fail before landing this. Forbearing has tried cheekpieces, blinkers and virtually any other accompaniment mentionable to help him race. He has ability but is a thorough rogue who carries a government wealth warning. Protocol put in a below par show at Uttoxeter on his most recent start. He has had a couple of weeks off to get over it but is opposed. Love Triangle has had chances at this level. A seven furlong horse on the level, he does not truly stay this trip under National Hunt rules and is vulnerable to a finisher. Chariot was once useful on the level for Barry Hills but unseated on his most recent start when well held. Green Prospect is likely to be short odds but we will recommend him regardless.
