In depth
Verdict
Forcefield is back on the same mark as when winning this 12 months ago but appears to have two ways of running and had already had a run last year. Luccombe Chine may not have beaten much at Cartmel in August while Westwire Toby was probably flattered by his run behind Dj Milan at Wetherby. Everdon Brook has a chance, however, as he didn't run badly off his new mark last time and Delightfully has place claims again. SOLWAY DORNAL continues to run well and stayed on late into second behind Benmadigan over a shorter trip at Musselburgh eight days ago. He's worth another chance over 3m and gets the nod.
