Race preview
You Some Girl landed a Catterick bumper in style last month and she must enter calculations once more, but FORCING BULL edges the vote. Donald McCain often does well in these types of races and his gelding, a winner between the flags in October, has all the right attributes in order to succeed here. Pyffo hit the woodwork on his racecourse debut and he appeals as a leading candidate with improvement likely.
