Enjoyed a purple patch on turf in 2025, winning 4 times. Not fired yet this year but is now below last winning mark and drops back to 0-60 company so isn't without a chance.

Improved performer this year and has won twice at Newcastle from last 3 outings, doing so in comfortable fashion on latest start. Different track to contend with here but likely to remain competitive on the back of a 6 lb rise.

Scored over C&D in first-time visor in February and followed up at Newcastle on penultimate start. Performed creditably when second of 8 in handicap at latter track 22 days ago and holds strong claims in this groove.

Third of 10 over C&D in September but followed that with a below-par effort at Redcar. Off 198 days since and isn't the easiest one to catch right.

Not a regular winner but shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 8 at Newcastle 22 days ago and could pick up some pieces late on if they go too hard.

Three-time C&D winner who scored here in January. Not in same form when seventh of 10 in a handicap at Newcastle later that month. May be freshened up on return from 83 days off but prospects depend on whether he's able to dominate matters.

5-time C&D winner who scored here in January but ran poorly when last of 11 here on Saturday. Passed over at present.

Fourth of 12 over C&D in January before winning at Newcastle over 5f later that month. However, ran one of lesser races last time and needs to be perked up by return of cheekpieces.

Finally got off the mark at the 19th attempt when winning a 9-runner classified stakes at Newcastle 21 days ago, the first-time visor seemingly making the difference. More required stepping back into handicap company.

Yet to win on all-weather but is 4 lb below last winning turf mark which gives her some hope if stepping up on recent return from 3 months off.

Dual C&D winner who is consistent at a low level but hasn't won in 21 runs since June, performing just respectably when third of 11 in first-time visor over C&D 5 days ago. Place claims at best.

Came home strongly in first-time cheekpieces to record best effort of the year when second of 9 at Wolverhampton 9 days ago. Yet to win a race for this yard but not without hope if building on that.

Successful over C&D last spring and finds himself back on a similar mark after tame finish to 2025. Didn't fire on recent return from 5 months off but notably went without usual equipment then and can be expected to fare much better with hood and tongue strap reapplied.

Forecasts

Little Mi Mi (15/8), Fortunate Star (4/1), Colors Of Freedom (6/1), Street Life (11/1), Okami (11/1), Isla Bella (12/1), Arlington (12/1), Silky Robin (14/1), Let's Go Hugo (14/1), Auntie Jo (18/1), Jeany May (28/1), Master Zack (28/1), Opal Storm (33/1)

Verdict

FORTUNATE STAR boasts 3 C&D wins and returns to Southwell after a creditable second at Newcastle 22 days ago so he looks sure to throw down another strong challenge. Little Mi Mi is an improved performer this year while Isla Bella showed a lot more last time.
