Verdict
SEA FORCE made a promising return when runner-up at Doncaster last month and can build on it here to get off the mark at the chief expense of Thirsk scorer Montpellier who rates a big threat despite conceding 7 lb to Williiam Haggas' son of Sea The Stars. Kaizen and Uniting both look to have better days ahead of them and appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
