BONA FORTUNA can defy his penalty and confine Sheiling and Goodison Park to minor roles. Rosie Jessop has an impressive strike rate of almost 30 per cent on Heath House trained runners and she appears to have been found another decent opportunity. Bona Fortuna has clearly done well over the winter and showed improved form on his handicap bow when running out a six length winner at Brighton. The longer trip won't be a problem and he'll have to race from an 8lb higher mark in future so has clear claims. Sheiling has shown a degree of promise on all three starts in maidens and should fare better now handicapping but she will find better opportunities than this. Storm Command may find some improvement for the fitting of a visor whilst Goodison Park is the type to do better now stepped up in trip with another year on her back and it will be interesting to see how she fares but this is a very tough starting point for her return to action with Bona Fortuna in opposition.
