La Fortuna appears to be improving with experience and the Lingfield second is slightly less exposed than likely market rival POETIC QUEEN. Luke Morris is definitely a jockey to follow today but Charlie Wallis’s filly has a drop in distance and different surface to contend with so we’ll give Eric Alston’s charge one final chance. She’s also making her Fibresand debut but dropping back to the minimum last time at Newcastle appeared to suit and credible opposition is thin on the ground. Diamond Indulgence will need to reverse Newcastle running with the selection but was making her debut that day. Private Donald and Clever Divya may be best of the rest.
