A couple of these return to novice company though Wolverhampton winner Forceful Speed has plenty to find on these terms with ONE WORLD. The latter has been gelded since placing in a couple of handicaps and looks the one to beat if running anywhere near his official mark. Star Start has little chance at the weights and the remainder will need a big improvement on what they’ve shown so far to figure in this.
