FORCE TEN is related to numerous winners in France and is the most likely winner of this unless the market speaks strongly for one of his rivals. Hunting Percival hails from a yard in form and is a half-brother to three winner jumpers so should be in the mix. Jockey bookings suggest Joseph Hobson is preferred to Bells Of Barnack but the stablemates can fight out the minor places.
