Join Forces⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J Tate

4/6

4/1, built on debut promise when excellent second of 8 in 7f maiden at Kempton (7f) in January. Has scope for further improvement, and she looks hard to beat.

Piselli Molli²³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 59

9/1

Much better effort last September when third of 13 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 13/2). Open to progress, so she can't be dismissed on her return.

Form: 33-

Forecasts

Join Forces (4/6), Kevin The Minion (9/2), Dream Composer (9/1), Piselli Molli (9/1), Howzak (10/1), Mayelf (40/1), Two Brothers (40/1)

JOIN FORCES has much the best form on show and, with further progress very much on the cards, James Tate's daughter of Lethal Force should prove hard to beat. Kevin The Minion rates next best on his first outing for Ivan Furtado with the returning Piselli Molli not discounted either if the market speaks in favour of Sir Mark Prescott's filly.
