Verdict
Fortunate Star comfortably had Desert Master's measure at Southwell and it's difficult to envisage that form being reversed. Both are taken seriously, but the verdict is for CLASSY CLARETS, who wants marking up for winning at Wolverhampton given everything went wrong leaving the stalls as he reared and was slowly away. A good second before that in handicap company, he's clearly on good terms with himself.
Expert View Verdict
CLASSY CLARETS had plenty go wrong when winning a classified event over 6f at Wolverhampton just four days ago and he has more than enough speed to cope with the drop to 5f at this stiffer track. He was competing from marks in the 60s this time a year ago and is preferred to Lady Of The Garr, although that one boasts strong claims a these weights dropping in grade. She likes this C&D and can go well. Fortunate Star was another last-time-out winner at this level in a first-time visor and he must again be considered provided the headgear works as well a second time.
