Verdict

FIRMAMENT just failed to overcome unfavourable terms with Sanaadh in a claimer at Southwell but has the measure of today’s rivals at the weights. David O’Meara’s veteran gets another chance with Unforgiving Minute looking the biggest threat with a recent comeback under his belt having won the last two renewals and beating Doc Sportello last year. Poetic Force is weighted to get the better of both the latter and Prince Rock on his return to action.
