Suburban Bay has become expensive to follow while Tuskar Rock was also a beaten favourite last time. Sentimentaljourney will have learned plenty from his first run over fences at Towcester, however, and should be winning soon while Top Benefit has claims if on a going day. FORT VIEW has largely been taking on better company since winning at Huntingdon in April last year. Formerly a very useful pointer, he looks well treated at present and can finally recapture the winning thread.
