Executive Force^p⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J F Egan| T: M Wigham| OR: 82| CD

9/4

Has bounced back to form in style this month, winning twice at Newcastle and bringing up his hat-trick over C&D last time. Been well placed for those wins, but looks vulnerable under another penalty here.

Form: 833-111

Forbidden Planet³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R L Moore| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 84| D

10/11

First run for this stable after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis's yard when scoring in good style at Lingfield (1m2f) last month, and followed up over same C&D last time, and a further 6lb rise may underestimate him.

Form: 7852-11

Wimpole Hall^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: W Jarvis| OR: 80| CD

5/1

Placed three times on AW this winter, and claims on pick of his efforts, but needs to put a lesser effort at Kempton behind him if he's to get back to winning ways.

Form: 3363-36

(3)

Central City^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 77| CD

10/1

Has improved for step up in trip for current yard, and gained third win for current connections over C&D last time. Will continue to give a good account, and respected.

Form: 09-5131

Forecasts

Forbidden Planet (10/11), Executive Force (9/4), Wimpole Hall (5/1), Central City (10/1)

FORBIDDEN PLANET and Executive Force come here on a roll, but the feeling is that the latter may finally be in the handicapper's grip, so Roger Charlton's progressive 4-y-o gets the nod. Central City has thrived on the whole since joining Ian Williams, and can pick up the pieces if his rivals fail to deliver.
