FORTUNATE BID is only 1lb higher than when scoring over C&D last month and went close again at Carlisle last week. He gets the token vote in a wide-open race and should confirm running with Schoolboy Champ. Katy's Secret has raced exclusively over 6f so far and won over that trip at Yarmouth last time, while Piccolo Express also has claims back on this surface. Royal Box won over 5f on the turf last month but acts around here and Tudor Prince could figure having slipped further down the weights.
