Has bounced back to form in style this month, winning twice at Newcastle and bringing up his hat-trick over C&D last time. Been well placed for those wins, but looks vulnerable under another penalty here.
First run for this stable after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis's yard when scoring in good style at Lingfield (1m2f) last month, and followed up over same C&D last time, and a further 6lb rise may underestimate him.
Placed three times on AW this winter, and claims on pick of his efforts, but needs to put a lesser effort at Kempton behind him if he's to get back to winning ways.
Has improved for step up in trip for current yard, and gained third win for current connections over C&D last time. Will continue to give a good account, and respected.
Forecasts
Forbidden Planet (10/11), Executive Force (9/4), Wimpole Hall (5/1), Central City (10/1)
FORBIDDEN PLANET and Executive Force come here on a roll, but the feeling is that the latter may finally be in the handicapper's grip, so Roger Charlton's progressive 4-y-o gets the nod. Central City has thrived on the whole since joining Ian Williams, and can pick up the pieces if his rivals fail to deliver.
