Verdict

FORTHFACTOR was a pretty decisive debut winner at Hereford last winter and, having since jumped ships to the powerful Dan Skelton yard, it's likely that he will prove hard to beat here. Titanium Ring gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of fellow newcomer Gogether Josepi and point winner Jim Thorpe.
