Verdict

LUD'OR ran to quite a useful level when runner-up at Auteuil last summer and is taken to make a winning start for new trainer Tom Symonds. Fortified Fortune shaped well when second at Warwick last month and is second choice ahead of Pirates' Tale, who shoulders a 7 lb penalty for his Exeter success.
