SEE FOREVER took a further step forward on her first start for Fergal O’Brien at Uttoxeter. This is a weak-looking opener, despite the numbers, and the mare should be capable of defying a 3lb rise. Neither Kenny George nor The Distant Lady distinguished themselves last time but Nothing Man attracted market support last time and is probably capable of better. Strictly Art is less exposed than most.
