The experience of Forzacurity may prove decisive against some promising recruits to timber such as Big Moment, Highland Reel and Garde Champetre. Forzacurity has already shown his worth, having posted a very easy win in selling company at Newton Abbot on his return to hurdling. He came off second best in a barging match with Saafend Rocket at Plumpton 10 days ago, in what was a slightly better affair and faces potentially better rivals now. However, he does have the advantage fitness-wise, and his experience will stand him in good stead. Big Moment took on much better company than the selection on the Flat and is one to follow if taking to timber. A stayer on the level, he will do better over further over the next few weeks. Highland Reel was a miler on the Flat who did not win too often, but might take to the game, while Garde Champetre is owned by the Million In Mind Partnership and will be found opportunities by Paul Nicholls. The reappearing Kercabellec adds to an interesting affair, that can go to the fitter Forzacurity.
