FORCE OF FORCES fell at the last when just headed on his debut for Venetia Williams at Wetherby just over a year ago which must have affected him as he was tailed off at Bangor a month later. He's joined Willie Mullins and gets the nod as Paul Townend rides with David Mullins on board Saglawy, a winner once in France from seven starts on the Flat. Jetez has gradually improved since stepping up to 2m4f so it's a surprise to see him back over this trip but Pete So High, three times a winner for Richard Hannon, has shown enough in his two starts over timber to suggest he'll be thereabouts again. Last Man Standing ran well enough here in October and normal progress can see him in the firing-line.
