In depth
Verdict
Forest Dane, Millfields Dream and Blue Tomato form an obvious short list, with Forest Dane. Although six-pounds higher than for his latest win, Forest Dane handles this type of track and comes here in good heart. It should add up to a good run. Blue Tomato is a course and distance winner that is due to go up four pounds in the ratings following a good Yarmouth run and holds obvious claims. If he does not bounce, Millfields Dream comes right into under his penalty for a Folkestone success. You can never completely rule out good runs from course and course and distance winners, respectively, Whitbarrow and Aintnecessarily, while Trace Clip comes her in good heart following a good Bath run and is another to give some thought to. Overall, though, the vote stays with Forest Dane.
