Verdict
Fortamour finished just ahead of Flying Pursuit when third at Ayr last month while Alben Spirit has been raised 5lb for winning on fast going at Leicester. Quanah has been thereabouts over the minimum trip recently and Conga is fitted with cheekpieces after finishing second over track and trip. Headgear is also applied to MAGICAL MAX, who was beaten only a length when fourth in soft going over course and distance last time and Mark Walford’s grey may come out best racing off the same mark.
