Verdict
Fortune Point is put forward as the tentative choice here with Florian and Didn't Tell My Wife the most likely to chase him home. The selection hails from a shrewd yard and was a good winner over hurdles last time at Wetherby. He goes well on this track, will have no problems with the trip and if the market offers any encouragement then it could pay to get stuck in. Florian is back up to his optimum trip after running well over 7 furlongs on this track last time behind Mistral Sky. He looks to have decent claims here as he has been knocking on the door on his last two runs on this track. Didn't Tell My Wife is a really consistent sort and looks a decent bet to make the frame, while the booking of Darryll Holland for Raheel catches the eye. But in a race that won't take much winning we are happy to stick with Fortune Point as our idea of the winner.
