LAWN RANGER is seeking a fifth course victory and is certain to handle conditions. He is the senior runner in this but is also receiving weight from all bar Platinum Prince, who has never won beyond an extended mile on Turf and was a beaten favourite on Polytrack last time racing off today’s mark. Oriental Art has been knocking on the door but a record of 0-20 is off-putting while connections of Change Of Fortune reach for cheekpieces with the gelding now 0-12.
