Verdict

FAVOUR AND FORTUNE was one of the leading British-based bumper performers last season and, having landed the odds with the minimum of fuss on hurdling debut at Hereford last month, Alan King's 5-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Tommy Time, who also made a winning start in this sphere recently and should have more to offer. Delgany Bobby Blue and Coniston George can do battle for third.
