Market Forces has been fairly treated by the handicapper and he can land this avent from Arctic Wings and Irish Dancer. Henry Cecil's filly could not have won any easier when successful at Beverley last time out. The opposition was pretty poor but a mark of 75 is not harsh at all and a follow up win looks on the cards. Arctic Wings landed a competive contest at Windsor last time out and is certainly improving. Meanwhile Irish Dancer is worth another crack at this trip, following a fair effort at Warwick last time out. Intiquilla is another that is definitely going the right way and has each-way claims, but Market Forces could be anything and she gets our confident vote.
