NEW FFOREST is impossible to oppose in this. She finished a respectable fifth in a Listed event at Newbury last month and will be a very short price to get that elusive first win under her belt. Borough Boy is next best on official ratings but has over 20lb to find with the selection and Miako may improve past him having finished fourth here on his debut. Mace The Ace and Compton Silver are easily overlooked.
