Those with previous form don't set a tall standard so it could well be worth siding with debutante FORTUNA FAVENTE. She makes plenty of appeal on paper (half-sister to high-class hurdler Appreciate It) for a good yard and it would come as no surprise to see her play a lead role. Gaye Winnie and Artemis Angel are others fancied to be thereabouts.
