Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but REAL FORCE has a good record when fresh so is fancied to make light of his absence and bag a second C&D success. Staysound Susie heads the list of dangers off a handy-looking mark, while others to consider include Mickey The Steel, Stag Night and Likedbymike.
