A disappointing turnout from 18 entries and Supreme Fortune looks to have been found a soft race in which to lose his maiden tag. He was far and away the best of these over hurdles and while he has yet to convince over fences, this looks his easiest task to date. Didifon can provide the main threat. He was a fortunate winner when left in front by the fall of The French Furze at Sedgefield, and looks to have plenty on in this under his penalty. Red Hustler is open to improvement, but he will need to, as will River Bailiff, who may do better when he goes handicapping.
