PUERTO BANUS failed to prevent Fortune And Glory from landing a double when runner-up over track and trip last time but will be sharper for the outing and is taken to go one better. Purgatory won three times last year and should be in the mix while Dourado slips even further down the weights looking to end a long losing run and the same comment applies to the returning Isomer. Medieval was placed here off a higher mark last term and may prove best of the remainder with most of them struggling for form.
