Verdict

Three of these were beaten by the progressive Mack The Knife in separate races last time with BRUTE FORCE preferred. The latter finished runner-up at Kempton and has the edge at the weights over Southwell third Dreadnoughtus and Dolphin Village, who was well beaten at Wolverhampton. Stevie Mckeane has placed over 1m4f and may prove best of the rest.
