Plenty in with a squeak but it could be worth siding with MAJOR FORTUNE, who failed to reward his supporters when gambled on at Exeter last month but Dan Skelton's 5-y-o warrants another chance given not much went right for him that day. Second choice is Nickelforce, who looked the main threat to the winner for much of the way at Doncaster last month, with Celtic Fortune and Living's Boy An Co also fancied to go well.
