Verdict
Forty Forte is effective here and will be difficult to peg back if he gets to easy a lead, but he will do well to shake off the attentions of the locally trained Urban Myth, who also likes to force the pace. With the pair drawn next to each other the pace is sure to be fast and furious which will suit Hugh The Man, who looks to be on the upgrade. Nick Littmoden's charge has been raised 7lbs for his victory over course and distance last time and he is taken to continue the upward curve. Crusoe has been in good form of late, winning twice in less than a month, once over course and distance, but Darryll Holland, who partnered him last time prefers Hugh The Man.
