Verdict
The short list for the seller consists if Forzacurity, Weet A Head and House Martin, with the selection being Forzacurity. With Richard Johnson booked, City Of Manchester has to be given some thought, while Forzacurity has shown more than enough outside of selling company to be considered a leading player in this seller. As a course and distance winner with a recent Flat run under his belt, Itcanbedone Again has also to be considered, while Tonight hinted at ability in 2005 and might enjoy eight flights of hurdles. Timmy Murphy's booking for Weet A Head is viewed as a positive, while House Martin comes into this on the back of a very good second in a similar event over course and distance so, naturally enough, also gets a good mention. First-time blinkers might also help her cause. With favourites having won three of the last five runnings of this contest then the betting should be viewed with interest but, without that, we will side with Forzacurity.
