After he made a promising handicap debut over C&D recently, Fortamour suggested it is a matter of time before he gets off the mark in handicaps. He is 6lb better off with Asdaa who he was narrowly behind that day. However, NORTHERNPOWERHOUSE beat Asdaa by a length when receiving 3lb from that rival last time out, and off the same terms he should theoretically confirm those placings and take his record on the AW to 2-3. The dark horse in the race is Portledge who shaped encouragingly when third in a typically competitive renewal of the "Beeswing" over C&D back in July. He was won when fresh in the past, but has never won off a mark as high as this before.
