Nothing makes especially strong appeal here but it might be worth going along with FIELDS OF FORTUNE in the hope that he can reproduce his recent cosy success over timber now back on the level. He gets the chance to race on good ground on the Flat for the first time since joining Alan King in the autumn of last year and, yet to win in 12 tries on the level, this could be his day. Sufi continues to ply his trade with consistency and recent placed efforts put him in here with every chance, with like comments attributable to Ravenous. Golden Image and Ablaze are course winners tucked away at the foot of the handicap and both could take a hand if handling this move up to 1m6f.
