        led early, keen tracked leader, ridden and weakened over 1f out

        In depth

        Verdict

        This is more difficult than the claimer won by Unforgiving Minute at Wolverhampton last month while Family Fortunes is now 7lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in November having placed in both subsequent starts. But JELLMOOD slipped back down the weights last year and after finishing a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton last time with previous winner Juanito Chico behind, Marco Botti’s charge gets the vote. Able Jack was in good form on the all-weather at the start of last year but hasn’t raced since the summer along with Chiefofchiefs and Al Jellaby
