Solid Fuel looks up against it but none of the others can be dismissed out of hand. Red Force One found only one too good in a similar contest here last week but Sinndarella is probably best at Bangor and Ben Bulben remains winless while Awesome Foursome has never raced on going this quick. HIGHLAND FROLIC was well beaten tried over this trip at Hereford last season but has improved since so gets another chance to prove he stays.
