In depth
Verdict
Reasonable Force could be one for the future but may not be fully wound-up today. All American is a half-brother to winning hurdlers and chasers and Alan Swinbank's charges are always to be feared in bumpers but the four-year-old has to concede 23lb to MADAME BLAVATSKY. Karen McLintock's grey daughter of Super Celebre is a half-sister to two winners on the Flat and could have the legs of her rivals on this sharp track. Tweedo Paradiso may prove the pick of the remainder.
