Rising Force¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: R Eddery| OR: 55

7/4

Winner at Chelmsford City in September and looked unlucky not to finish closer when ¾-length third of 10 to Mamalouka at Kempton last time, nearest finish having met trouble from 2f out. Looks the one to beat if able to replicate that form over this longer trip.

Form: 12525-3

Danehill Star¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47

4/1

One of better efforts when fifth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Place claims going up in trip from slightly-eased mark.

Form: 67626-5

Flocon²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Davies| T: A West| OR: 45

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving David O'Meara when seventh of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yet to show any ability and is opposable again.

Forecasts

Magnificentforce (13/8), Rising Force (7/4), Danehill Star (4/1), Dire Wolf (15/2), Tres Chic (22/1), Flocon (80/1)

RISING FORCE was arguably unlucky not to win at Kempton 12 days ago and should prove capable to notching a second career success from an unchanged mark. Dire Wolf has made the frame at that same course on her last 2 outings and rates as the biggest threat, with Danehill Star the pick of the remainder.
