In depth

Verdict

Top weight FAMILY FORTUNES can make a winning turf debut by defying a 2lb rise having finished a decent third at Lingfield last time out. The selection was defending an unbeaten record on that occasion having won his two previous starts and his breeding suggests that he will handle the good-to-soft ground forecast here. Bengal Lancer impressed when winning last time out and can take second in this contest while Limelite can take third in a first time hood.
