Has stepped up to win back-to-back races at Newcastle this month, and very impressive last time. Expected to make a bold bid despite incurring a penalty for that effort, such was the ready nature of his win.
Won at Kempton in December, and good second there on penultimate outing. Took a grip when below form last time, but not hard to see him bouncing back now.
Winner at Lingfield in first-time blinkers in September for another yard, but not really one for maximum faith, and never dangerous when fifth at Lingfield last time.
Not the force of old and his win on penultimate start in July was gained in a claimer. Below that form in two subsequent AW starts, and other stronger again.
Bolted up by 5L on stable debut (having left Richard Guest) but easily held next time. Likely that race came too soon and respected despite stepping up in class this time.
C&D winner in January, and ran well in the circumstances when fourth of 9 in a 1m3f handicap at Kempton last time, when unsuited by the steady pace. Claims if getting strong pace which suits.
Running consistently in recent times, and ought to have won when ½L second of 13 to Cashel over 1m at Kempton last time. Cheekpieces on now, but does have to race from out of the handicap proper.
Forecasts
Executive Force (13/8), Gas Monkey (10/3), Bollihope (4/1), Juanito Chico (8/1), Baasha (8/1), The Warrior (22/1), God Willing (33/1)
EXECUTIVE FORCE is in a rich vein of form and can complete the hat-trick. Bollihope and Gas Monkey are running well, and should also give backers a decent run for their money.
