Optimum Force had some fair form over timber and is a lightly-raced type between the flags who can improve on his second at Castletown earlier this month. MR DOMINATOR doesn't win very often but is generally thereabouts in Open contests and Debbie Hartnett's charge might be good enough in a moderate event. Ballyvoneen is very consistent and likely to reach a place but he's still a maiden after 10 starts.
