RACING POST VERDICT

Milan Forth heads this thirteen-runner Roscommon contest on good ground over twenty-four furlongs, rated narrowly ahead of Positive Thinker and four to five pounds clear of Charlie Luciano and Thornleigh Frank, giving him a modest but genuine edge at the top of the field. The selection will need to justify that advantage over a searching trip where stamina and jumping consistency matter most, and Positive Thinker in particular looks the likeliest to make him work hardest, with Charlie Luciano and Thornleigh Frank also possessing the ratings to get involved if conditions suit. Confidence is measured rather than absolute, but Milan Forth's standing at the head of the weights on these figures gives him a credible platform, and at a distance that rewards genuine stayers, he looks the one to be with. Milan Forth is our selection.
