9/2

Mehmas colt who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests having been all the rage in the betting when fifth of 7 on her Southwell debut 12 days ago, paying price for big big mid-race move. Will be sharper for that initial experience and could improve a lot.

Anfaal (5/2), Rising Force (9/2), Unowho (11/2), Sankari (8/1), Up The Manor (11/1), Aspire To Glory (11/1), Hooray For Hazel (12/1), Havana Rose (14/1), Big Blue Boy (16/1), Want Want (22/1), Eco Power Boy (25/1), Grecian Princess (33/1), Mullingar Girl (40/1), Search (40/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (50/1)

RISING FORCE paid the price for a big mid-race move to get into contention after missing the break on his debut at Southwell but was spared a hard race once his chance had gone and strikes as the sort who could improve a lot for that initial experience. Therefore, he gets the nod, with Anfaal and Unowho considered the main threats.
