Verdict

Highly competitive but this may go the way of the improving SEA FORCE for last year's winning trainer/jockey. He looked the winner at Goodwood before being caught out by the rain-softened ground late on and he's fancied to reverse the form with reopposing rivals that finished ahead of him, now returned to better ground. Montpellier still held an entry in the Hungerford earlier this month and remains unexposed as a handicapper, he may prove next best ahead of Fearnot who arrives in top form.
