Verdict

A weak maiden hurdle. FORTIFIED BAY has the best form in the book and is owned by the St Boswells-based Rooney's, so it is worth taking a chance on his well-being at their local track (returning from a 711 day absence). The only other viable alternative is the Dan Skelton-trained Floki who will probably improve upon his obstacles debut third at Warwick.
