Verdict

Natural Force gets the confident vote to win this maioden with Nesno and Spiritual Peace rating the main dangers. There selection ran well despite running as if in need of the race when fourth behind Pelham Crescent. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and given minimal improvement he will be hard to beat.Nesno rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind City Of Troy that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he will not be far away. Spiritual Peace is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Expensive but he has given the impression he would be seen to better effect over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Baileys Encore and Northern Boy are from yards in form and should be noted in the market but they look relatively exposed and for the winner we return to the well bred Natural Force who is taken to win this before going on to better things
