Forecasts

Fortune Finder (11/10), Lady Pendragon (9/2), Kodiac Harbour (6/1), The Jean Genie (8/1), Capriolette (9/1), Quemonda (14/1), Lake Sand (25/1), Goodwood Showman (33/1), Angel Of Delight (40/1), Stormbomber (40/1)

FORTUNE FINDER was well found in the market prior to making a successful handicap debut in taking fashion at Chelmsford 19 days ago and a 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. Lady Pendragon and The Jean Genie are perhaps the main threats.
