In depth

Verdict

Fortune Island looks to be a progressive colt and he may improve further still for the step up in trip, while the lightly weighted Runaway Star, proven over this trip, also looks sure to run well, but Unleash, who showed plenty of resolution when winning at Leicester, looks sure to improve for this step up in trip and he may be a step ahead of the Handicapper.
