Great View and Red Forest are in top form and should fight out the finish here, with the former just getting the verdict, Only For Sue and Free Style could be best of the rest. Great View easily got the better of today's rival Free Style at Brighton last time, coming home two and a half lengths clear. The runner up is six pounds better off and should get a lot closer but the selection is expected to confirm the form. Red Forest was most impressive when beating Classic Millenium at Wolverhampton recently after dropping down the handicap. He looks on a very fair mark for his return to the turf and looks set to go close. Only For Sue was having only her third run on turf when a gallant third behind Best Port at Nottingham a fortnight ago and could get into a place at a decent price. If fit, Trusted Mole is another that may figure in the finish, but Great View has proved his well being and can make it three wins from the last four outings.
