Kinglami finished in front of Just An Idea when scoring at Chepstow last month and can race off a lower mark on the all-weather while Fortune And Glory recorded his only win so far over 7f here in May. Gold Club was beaten less than a length at Lingfield recently and Fivetwoeight drops down a grade along with MADRINHO. But the latter arrives in better form having won under today’s apprentice at Salisbury before going close again at Thirsk last time and he gets another chance in this company.
