Bountiful Forest and Red Forever look up against it taking on five recent winners. Disclosure and De Repente are the most exposed of that group with the latter carrying a penalty for winning a nursery at Carlisle. Paul Green's charge also has a bit to find on collateral form with both Spiceupyourlife and Ticking Katie with the former preferred of that pair after a cosy win at Ripon. FREE CODE landed the odds at Thirsk with a minimum of fuss and with further progress expected back over today's longer trip, he can register another winner for James Tate's in-form yard.
