        Verdict

        The Martin Pipe-trained Forbearing is the obvious one in this modest claimer. With the game Banningham Blaze and Zeis fancied to put up the most resistance. That said, a move for Lord Nellsson will be interesting as he has only raced once on the Flat once prior to this afternoon and the fact that he heads the weights for a race like this underlines how highly he is thought of by his connections. Stablemates Flyoff and Cracow make limited appeal on recent evidence and, like Jazil and Lilian are not hard to overlook today. Which brings the search back round to Forebearing, who despite not being the most straightforward of characters, has a very good record in races of this nature. A three-time winner at this level for Sir Mark Prescott last season, Forbearing has form on all types of going - which underlines his true ability if he is in the mood. The gelding has faced much stiffer tests than he will face from the majority of today's modest opposition and it will be a very disappointing effort form him if he cannot deliver the good again today.
