Soldier of Fortune gelding who made a winning debut over C&D in June and backed it up with a solid showing when runner-up at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Obvious claims.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One. Shaped better than the result at Newbury on debut 7 months ago, so open to improvement.

Forecasts

The Expensive One (8/13), All Well And Good (11/10), Alan De Banks (11/8), Mon The Hoops (28/1)

ALAN DE BANKS has made a solid start to his career and is taken to add another C&D success. The Expensive One should improve from his debut, so can't be dismissed.
