Fort Smith has the form for this but Gordon Elliott has been unable to get a race out of him over jumps and he has a penalty for his bumper victory. Via Del Corso has had even more runs over jumps without winning, though she has managed to score on the Flat - she's also penalised. Bright Prospect has improved with each run and it wouldn't take much more to score here while there's more to come from Sizing Venezuela, who fell at the second when well supported here last June. DO TRY DOLLY looks sure to run her race as usual and the weight she receives from the top pair may just swing things in her favour.
