In depth
Verdict
A progressive three-year-old, Tornado Force finished last at Newmarket back in June and it doesn't bode well to see him dropped to this level for his return. Electrician has shown little either on the Flat or over hurdles since winning his maiden last September so another chance goes to SUPER SAY. The latter started favourite to win a similar event at Wolverhampton last time but found one too good - he can make amends in this. Noguchi is another dropped in class on his return from a lengthy absence and first start for a new trainer but it remains to be seen if he retains all his ability.
