RED FORCE ONE arrives in the best form of these. Narrowly beaten over 1m5f before scoring over 2m at Musselburgh, he should go close again in this company. Eye Knee is not the most consistent but is back on a winning mark if posting one of his better efforts while hurdles winner Glory And Honour and Isla Diamonds make their handicap debuts on the Flat.
