This sort of test looks likely to be right up HARD TO FORGET's street given the way he powered clear after being headed here over 3m1f last time out and Henry Oliver's improving youngster looks the one to side with in this competitive renewal of the race; seven-year-olds have won the last two renewals. Emma Lavelle's mare Belle Empress looked to be crying out for such a distance over 3m and she relished every yard of 3m6½f at Exeter latest suggesting her an ideal type for this similar stamina test. Christmas In April won like a real stayer at Fontwell and he too must be respected.
