Verdict

There were more than enough positives to take from MAJOR FORTUNE's reappearance fourth on debut for Dan Skelton in a Bangor maiden to suggest that he will be seriously competitive now handicapping off what could turn out to be a handy opening mark. He gets the nod ahead of another likely improver in Danton and Imperial Measure, who did the job well at Newton Abbot last time. Arthalot and Filanderer are others to consider.

  1. MAJOR FORTUNE (IRE)
  2. DANTON (IRE)
  3. IMPERIAL MEASURE (IRE)
