Verdict

FOREVER FORWARD finished clear of the rest when beaten a neck at Sandown by the odds-on favourite. He can go one better at the main expense of Arsonist, third at Chelmsford on his debut and representing a yard that has won two of the three previous renewals. Kawaalees can only improve while Evaluation is a full-brother to winning stablemate Calculation but will be better over middle-distances and the Godolphin colt Raajil is preferred to both the former and Summer's Knight of the newcomers.
