FORCED FAMILY FUN has the advantage of a run under his belt and it was it was good one too as the useful hurdler won eased down in soft ground at Newcastle. He's preferred to Omnipresent and gets the vote ahead of those returning to action. Silk Sari heads that list on November's third at Newmarket while the talented Louis Steward is good value for his 3lb allowance and he gets the leg-up on Kempton maiden winner Phosphorescence for the Cecil yard. Dolphin Village is another who may figure if running anywhere near his best on his reappearance.
