Made a promising debut at Sandown (7f, good; 11-2) last month, staying on in the manner of one would appreciate further despite showing signs of inexperience. Looks a certain improver, leading chance.

Forecasts

Forever Forward (11/8), Arsonist (11/4), Raajil (6/1), Kawaalees (8/1), Stigwood (9/1), Evaluation (14/1), Summer's Knight (66/1), Marta Boy (200/1)

Verdict

This is a good opportunity for FOREVER FORWARD to go one better after a narrow defeat on debut on Sandown last month. A relatively rare runner on the level for these owners, he looked somewhat green (pardon the pun) in that run but came clear with the winner. With that experience banked the Exceed And Excel colt ought to take the beating. Arsonist shaped nicely on debut at Chelmsford and is next best of those with form while newcomers Evaluation and Raajil need a look, with the latter more suited by this test on paper.
