CON FORZA is not a confident selection as he's been well beaten at Wincanton since winning at Towcester but a pair of blinkers replaces the usually visor and he won't be far away if they achieve the desired effect. The danger is probably The Kvilleken, who also sports blinkers for the first time and wouldn't need to improve much on recent seconds at Worcester and Towcester to take a hand in the finish. Exclusive Dancer has claims on her form last year but Ergo Sum might need this, though was second over a shorter trip here in January and Ivan's Back won at Market Rasen in the summer.
