Verdict
Fortune Bay showed he had a race in him when runner-up at Leicester, however, he has the worst of the draw to overcome and preference is for the well drawn Ronnie From Donny. From stall one, he has the pace to take advantage and could take some pegging back. Thisonesfor George, from the same family as the speedy Pepperoni could be one to keep an eye on.
