The form of On The Road’s Lingfield victory has been franked but he was raised a massive 11lb for that and all of his wins have come on soft or heavy going. Coole Charmer was pulled up in that Lingfield race but that wasn’t his true running and he’s now 13lb better off. MAKE ME A FORTUNE has had a stop-start career to date over fences but he has ability and is on a potentially lenient mark at present. He has won here over hurdles so gets the nod with both Bank Bonus and Whitsundays having only their second starts over the larger obstacles and the latter returning from a lay-off.
