FOREST DEMON was strong at the finish when getting off the mark in a 7f Kempton nursery last August and can make a successful return off a still handy-looking mark with this longer trip another positive. Both Bear Force and Apex start 2023 with better days ahead of them too and appeal as the duo to chase home the selection in that order.
