LEADING FORCE found one too good again in a novices race at Newcastle last time but the winner is rated 127 and Sandy Thomson’s charge meets nothing of a similar calibre in this. Hot As Pepper has yet to figure over hurdles but travels over from Ireland with a shout in this company while Fetch It Yourself improved on the heavy going here last time and steps up in trip. Torosay is unexposed and can figure if handling the ground.
