Verdict
FIELDS OF GLORY won on good ground at Musselburgh last month under Richard Johnson. But he was placed in soft going at Lingfield before that and can defy a 3lb rise for his recent success. Little Jimmy is on a decent mark if back to his best but has been struggling of late while Make Me A Fortune was a runner-up over these fences in between a couple of poor efforts. Asuncion scored over track and trip in December but races from out of the handicap here.
