This will prove a test for both the horses and their young jockeys but there are no stamina doubts surrounding John Forbes, who has won over much further and made late headway when fourth over 1m4f at York last month. Bajan Parkes scored over this trip at Redcar last time, while Mohawk Ridge should appreciate the extra after finishing third over 1m4f at Ripon. Cornish Beau, Sancho Panza and Visions Of Johanna are all capable of going close but Amy Ryan, one of the more experienced riders in this contest, gets on well with SHIFTING GOLD and the five-year-old can go one better than when runner-up at Southwell last month.
