It’s no surprise to see LEXINGTON FORCE in selling company having plummeted 13lb down the weights this year without success - he should be winning a race like this on these terms. Arctic Victory is another on the slide with a chance while Trusty Scout steps up from 7f with Oisin Murphy on board. Caballero has plenty to find at the weights while Mustavim debuts for new connections.
