An open heat can go to AMBLE FORGE, while Bormo will be among those getting very competitive. The selection represents Colin Tizzard, who has his runners as well as they have ever been at present, and he will relish the cut in the ground today. He will need a career-best to score, but he will be fit after making the frame on his seasonal return and we hope to catch him right today. Bormo has put in some decent efforts in defeat, but remains a maiden after 11 starts. Soft ground suits and this drop in trip won't inconvenience, and he can go very well. Coach Lane has won from a higher mark than today's 120 in the past and appears to go on any ground, although he tends to need a run before being at his best, while Nomecheki acts with some cut and comes from a yard doing well enough, though has to contend with a lengthy lay-off. Wheels Up looks a likely threat judged on his Irish form with cut in the ground, but we prefer the claims of Amble Forge.
