A couple of these bid for a hat-trick of course victories. Forge Valley Lad has the more recent form though Tudor drops down a grade and is preferred to stablemate Rikona. The latter and Nasim have something to prove off their current marks having both won their penultimate starts while Sense Of Worth has been in the mix over shorter trips recently. ENOUGH ALREADY (NAP) also returns to this longer distance having competed in tougher contests here so far this year and a chance is taken on Lee Carter’s charge now back on a winning mark.
