Verdict
RISING FORCE capitalised on his reduced mark when scoring at this C&D in December and has continued in good heart since, only narrowly denied in a higher grade at Kempton last time, so he could be ready to record his third course success. Dash Power has been going through a good spell and isn't taken lightly on yard debut, with Artificer also considered.
