The form of FORTUNATE STAR's decisive Haydock success earlier this month has been well-advertised since and he was unlucky not to go in again at Doncaster next time. The 5-y-o is clearly at the top of his game and he could be the answer to this wide-open handicap. Air Force One shaped with plenty of encouragement over C&D on his recent yard debut/seasonal reappearance and he is second choice ahead of the 2022 winner of this, Birkenhead. Others to consider include Copper Knight and Protest Rally.
