Family Fortunes won at Kempton last month and went close again at the latter track last time. De Vegas Kid landed a double at Brighton in September and was beaten less than a length over track and trip recently while Ambient found only one too good at Kempton having slipped down the weights. Zoraya is back on a winning mark and posted a better effort here on her latest start but the unexposed maiden winner MATTERHORN ran well under a penalty at Newcastle last time and Mark Johnston's colt gets the vote now handicapping for the first time.
