Fortunedefortunata is penalised for a surprise-but-comfortable debut success at Ludlow and the concession of weight to BOOMBAWN may prove beyond him. Dan Skelton's charge couldn't cope with Call Of The Wild at Doncaster earlier this month but the winner looks smart and the remainder were beaten a long way. The four-year-old Parliament Hill is also penalised for a debut success at Leicester and disappointed on softer ground at Huntingdon next time. Herecomeshogan was beaten a long way at Catterick earlier this month but looks best of the remainder.
