In depth
Verdict
Several of these look to have decent claims including Force, who drops back down in class with Frankie taking over the reins. George William returns to 6f after a third at Haydock over a furlong further but KITAABY may just edge this. The latter went close to catching Whitman over track and trip on his debut and the latter has since won again. Easter Mate and Adventurous are likely improvers with Jack Nevison making most appeal of the newcomers.
