        Verdict

        Jack The Truth has been in good form over the minimum trip but has recorded seven of his eight wins so far over the latter distance so a chance is taken on the returning FORTAMOUR. The latter won off a similar mark at Ascot in September and has gone well fresh in the past. Spartan Fighter won over 6f at Wolverhampton earlier while the veteran Lucky Lodge could go well off his current mark. Portugueseprincess finished runner-up over 7f at Southwell recently and gets a change of headgear.
