Verdict

FAST FORWARD has made the frame at Wolverhampton on his last 2 starts, despite having a hopeless task from his position on his latest outing, so he could be ready to return to winning ways this time around. C&D winner My Brother Mike is feared most with his reappearance run behind him, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Meisterzinger.
