Verdict

Serena's Storm and Parliamentary have leading chances in this intriguing finale, but Fortuity has the best form and can rule here. Fortuity is still a maiden but has shaped well in his last two starts, well backed when reaching the frame at Kempton, before running very well in better company at Newmarket last time to be a staying on second. He will take all the beating. Serena's Dream was unconsidered on her Pontefract bow, but shaped very encouragingly, finishing just behind the leaders. She is worth watching. Parliamentary looked one of Mark Johnston's lesser lights when finishing in mid-division on his debut at Thirsk, but his breeding is impressive, and he looks capable of hitting the frame. Fortuity gets a confident vote and can send punters home happy.
