One win from 29 Flat runs. Tongue strap on first time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (1½m) when last seen in June. Tongue tie off, first-time hood on. Others are more persuasive.

Just 1 win from 28 starts but did bounce back to form when second of 9 over C&D (11/1) 27 days ago, running on. Likely to be on the premises if showing up in a similar mood.

Verdict

STRATEGIC FORTUNE went down only to a thriving sort at Southwell last time and is taken to go one better now. Rubellite has been in a good vein of form of late and is second choice ahead of last month's C&D runner-up Duchess.
