FORCHENA (NAP) missed an engagement a few days ago and now arrives in what looks a less demanding contest. Tom Lacey has his select summer string in good nick and the mare, who showed a great attitude to reel in King Golan last time Hexham, is taken to make it three on the bounce despite her latest 7lb punishment from the handicapper. She gets on well with her talented amateur pilot. Gangster, back over hurdles, and The Wicket Chicken have plenty to do conceding over a stone to the selection and Missthecuddles and Presenting Yeats are seen as stronger threats and are preferred in that order as the former is expected to appreciate the step-up in trip.
