It's been a while since Green Fortune displayed any sparkle and is best watched until doing so. The form of fellow three-year-old, Prince Ahwahnee hasn't really been franked of late and he may not represent any major value here. Wentworth Falls is sure to crop up sooner or later but he's very much a hold-up merchant who likes to come through horses and therefore there has to be a question mark as to whether this small field will suit. He may well prove good enough but SUMMERGHAND is more straightforward and has been far from disgraced on his last two starts off higher marks after scoring decisively at Doncaster and Haydock.
