Penultimate start Chelmsford winner FOREVER PROUD (9) nearly followed-up that success with a narrow defeat over course and distance six-days ago. Key player with Hector Crouch back in the saddle. PORT NOIR (2) has remained a model of consistency with four placed efforts from five runs since gaining her sixth course triumph in October. Firmly in the shake-up again. RISING FORCE (10) was short of room when only narrowly beaten at Chelmsford by the top pick and has every chance of reversing the placings. While jaamir (4) is a lightly-raced stablemate to the main choice and in with a shout for the minor honours.
