FORGE VALLEY LAD was a winner off this mark last year and made an encouraging debut for David Simcock over an inadequate trip at Wolverhampton last time, so he's worth chancing to come out on top in this open-looking event. Engrave is well treated and shaped as if back in form last time, so she's feared most, while Headley George could feature if stall 13 doesn't scupper him.
