Fame N Fortune has won three of four outings here since switching to George Baker’s yard. He’s been raised a further 6lb for his latest success but is still preferred to Nawar, who won a lower grade race over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last month. Fraser Island has shown no improvement over hurdles though placed at Kempton when last seen on the Flat in September while novice winner Riverfront makes his handicap debut on his first start of the year having been gelded. But PROTECTED GUEST (NAP) has tumbled 14lb down the weights since the summer and having finished a close-up fourth in a tough Class 2 contest here last time, looks set for a return to winning ways off his current mark.
