A respectable runner-up of 11 here over 7f (handicap) finished just ahead of Unsolved Riddle 14 days ago; possesses winning form at this track; a while since his last success; rise in ratings means only limited appeal.

Not far behind Redlightgreenlight when seventh in March; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; quite a while since he tasted success; form of the trainer is a plus; not a particularly inspiring record when returning from a break so hard enough to fancy.

Verdict
Force Publique needs to be considered while Unsolved Riddle rates a serious danger to the tip. But PEACE TREATY is the recommendation. He has every chance with winning C&D form.
