Verdict

G Force is on a very long losing run since landing the 2014 Sprint Cup at Haydock and has already run twice here in recent weeks and though unable to cope in Listed company last time didn't run badly. Golden Spell completed a double in the summer but reserved her best for her final start of the campaign when runner-up in a Listed contest on soft ground here in October. BAND OF OUTLAWS easily won a nursery over 7f here in November and will be all the better for his return to action on the track last month so looks the one to be on. Patuano only won once in eight starts last season but generally performed well and her young rider's claim is a bonus here. Dual winner Comhghairdeas should be scoring again soon but Amanaat looks to have plenty to do.
