Verdict

This is tougher than the race FOURONEOHFEVER won at Catterick last week, but he did the job in such good style and will surely take plenty of stopping under a penalty if turning up in a similar mood. Forest Gate took a sizeable step back in the right direction when third in a Class 2 handicap here last month and he is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Mawood. Kind of Kiss and Seagolazo are others with claims in a competitive heat.
