Qasser finished a street clear of the opposition at Plumpton but the handicapper has taken no chances and raised him 19lb. MAKE ME A FORTUNE is preferred off only a 2lb higher mark than when going very close at Huntingdon last month with the rest well beaten. King's Road is 6lb higher than his course and distance win on fast ground in July and King Zeal has looked in the handicapper's grip for some time now. Edgar is less exposed and could go well on his handicap debut.
