Bubbles Arcade showed plenty of promise when winning on his first run for Rod Millman and is sure to be involved at the finish, but this can go to HORSE FORCE ONE. He won with the minimum of fuss over course and distance at the end of May and can go in again for a trainer with an excellent record in bumpers. The Land Agent finished behind Bubbles Arcade last time and won’t be reversing that form on his first run for Dai Williams while Keyboard Warrior hasn’t looked competitive in any of his four outings. Kebir De La Vis is the better of the two newcomers and it would be no surprise to see him push the favourites close.
