LEADING COMPANY and Sweet Fortune both carry penalties for victories last week. The former is on a hat-trick after completing a Beverley double where he was always travelling strongly and he will relish the slightly longer trip. He holds runner-up Jim's Cracker on that run and What A Dude on an earlier victory but Sweet Fortune has improved with each run and landed a Wolverhampton nursery in easy fashion so won't go down without a fight.
