      Verdict

      Andrew Balding has done well to get a couple of wins out of FORSETI(NAP) and the gelding boasts a strong claim to make it three in a weak-looking seller. Well beaten the last twice in competitive Class 2 handicaps at Chester, this really does represent a steep downward curve into selling company. He is notably favoured by race conditions and Joshua Bryan claims a further useful 3lb. Ventura Bay is the clear danger on the formbook and looked the winner for most of the home straight in a Ripon seller last month before succumbing late on. He should bustle up the selection at the very least. Luna Princess has much to find with the aforementioned pair but looks next best.
