Verdict

FORGETTHESURPRISE's improved form over hurdles in the summer makes him look well treated in this sphere so, despite a poor run at Navan a couple of months, he's worth another chance to open his account on the Flat. Recent Thurles winner Wojood is regarded as a danger and Able Jack should could play a hand if he can build on a step back in the right direction here last time.
