Verdict

Fame N Fortune overcame a few negatives to win at Lingfield last time and isn't one to dismiss in the follow-up having been raised 3lb. He's shortlisted alongside Max Guevara, who has shaped well lately. Poetic Legacy comes here off a much-improved Brighton showing and is seemingly going to relish the extra yardage but CHARLIE ARTHUR is the choice. He appeared to resent the blinkers at Chepstow last time and his earlier Wolverhampton form would give him a chance, while there's also scope for better tackling this new trip.
  1. Charlie Arthur
