Verdict
FORTUITOUS STAR was only beaten a neck tried over this trip at Redcar two runs ago, well ahead of Ribkana, and will take some pegging back here if allowed an easy lead. Lukla is only a plater but was third over 1m2f here last time and All Dunn has placed in his last three and is usually thereabouts, though has shown his best form so far on Tapeta. Paco's Pride is from a yard firing on all cylinders and she’s been dropped a pound since her latest third at Salisbury but the Roaring Lion filly doesn’t have a lot of scope.
