Race preview
RISING FORCE was in a dominant mood when he scored comfortably in a deeper-looking race over this C&D a fortnight ago and should make a bold attempt at brushing aside a 5lb higher mark in this company. Fellow last-time-out winner Dubai Harbour is far less exposed and, assuming he isn't caught flat-footed by dropping back in trip, should also be capable of figuring prominently. Aspire To Glory and Bo Taifan are others to monitor in the betting.
