        Verdict

        A poor seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be Forty Forte, Kanz Wood and Frank's Quest and the tentative vote goes to Forty Forte. The selection won well in similar grade last time out when defeating Mizhar and with the useful Ben Swarbrick taking off a handy five pounds he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Kanz Wood rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although he is better off at the weights here the winner won with a shade in hand and he will need to improve to gain his revenge. Frank's Quest is another worthy of respect he was a good second behind Vandenberghe last time and that effort would see him go close but he is far from consistent and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Cal Mac is dropping in grade but he has been out of form over hurdles of late and for the winner we return to Forty Forte.
