Verdict
Mam'selle won on good to soft at Salisbury on her debut but the form hasn’t worked out and Richard Hannon trained the third that day so should know where he stands with Fields Of Fortune, though he flopped on his only previous try on an easy surface. GALACTIC PRINCE won on soft going as a juvenile so conditions shouldn’t be a problem and the top weight looked to be coming to hand at Chelmsford last month. Alexander M has been knocking on the door but may not enjoy today’s ground but Road To Dubai might appreciate the drop back in distance after finishing third over 1m4f at Doncaster and can’t be ignored.
