The consistent Fortamour won over 6f at Ayr last month though has also won over today’s trip in the past. But TOMFRE rattled-up a hat-trick last year and having returned to winning ways in testing going at Leicester recently, Ralph Beckett’s colt can go in again. Musicality has yet to race over this far but the underfoot conditions will suit while Grove Ferry drops back down in trip having placed in classified contests over a mile at Ascot. Bear Force One drops in class while National League is preferred to stablemate Zap.
