A winner here in early March and second twice since, Born Force has to go on the shortlist in a modest finale. I Call Shotgun also won here in March, beating E Lee, but has a length to find with I’m Lucky on more recent form. It’s a while since BRETT’S BOY got his head in front but he’d made the frame three times in a row here before failing to give his true running last time. If he rediscovers his best form in this, Dakota Wood’s mount is probably the one to beat.
