Verdict
CON FORZA is not an easy ride but Ryan Hatch managed to get his head in front at Towcester earlier this month and his 5lb claim will come in useful again here. He can outstay Exeter scorer Prettyasapicture, who probably has the beating of Jaja De Jau but didn't appear to get home when tried over this trip at Uttoxeter in the summer. Irish import Guiding George could be interesting but Herecomesthebride has something to prove after finishing tailed off at Newton Abbot last month.
