Beyond Equal’s winning run came to end off today’s mark at Leicester and he’s had a short break since. Blazed went close at Nottingham in June but returned a losing favourite at Kempton last time and Englishman is preferred on his recent second at Newmarket. But GREEN FORTUNE took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at Yarmouth last month and Bob Cowell’s three-year-old gets the vote to go in again with more to come from him this season. Vj Day is capable at this level on his day but hasn’t raced since May.
