DAIRY FORCE 16/1

DAIRY FORCE at 16/1, Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy, is the one I would side with. He has had his mark eased — 2 of the last 4 starts on the wrong trip, back to 16f today where he wins, mark down 2lb and is back quickly, ran 1 day ago.

The one worry is long time without a win.

The dangers are MARY'S PRIDE at 20/1 (went close off this mark) and SIMPLE THINGS at 11/2 (went close off this mark).
