NENGE MBOKO has returned a beaten favourite on his last couple of starts but he won't get may better opportunities than this and is given another chance. Midnight Dream finished a bit closer at Kempton last month without threatening to catch the winner while Forceful Flame would figure if rediscovering the form that saw him finish fourth at Newmarket back in August. The remainder have shown nothing to recommend them so far and are harder to fancy.
