Verdict
FORZA ORTA had no answer to Sea La Rosa on his handicap debut at Redcar but the winner ran an excellent race in a Class 2 handicap at York next time and Kevin Ryan's charge can finally get off the mark. Doctor Parnassus has been very disappointing since narrowly beaten at Haydock but still looks the main threat. First Account won over hurdles at Perth in July but was well beaten on his debut on the Flat at Catterick while Victory Star was beaten 21l on his debut at Carlisle.
