Forever Forward placed in four of his eight starts on the Flat for Clive Cox but doesn’t have a jumping pedigree and SACRE PIERRE made only one notable error at Uttoxeter when beating a couple of previous winners with plenty in hand. The Bravest can improve on his fourth at Market Rasen but So Savvy is best watched.
