Make Me A Fortune won a competitive handicap over track and trip last month and would have major claims if turning up today. However, he had an alternative target at Haydock yesterday. WARRIORS TALE lost nothing in defeat when chasing a hat-trick over 3m at Ayr last time. He'll make a chaser in time but can score again over the smaller obstacles here as his form is much stronger than that of Market Rasen runner-up Black Jack Rover and Chanceofa Lifetime. Major Ivan is proving disappointing and lacks a recent run.
