Nordic Chief, Masterofthedesert and Absolutely Yes can set a strong tempo. WHAT A FORTUNE (7) was always forward and boxed on to finish fourth over 1200m at Kenilworth last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Likely improver who should run well. SCOTTISH KISS (6) is a distance specialist who finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1400m at Kenilworth, an improvement on his sixth at Kenilworth the run before. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. OBJET D' ART (4) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only a head, over 1200m at Kenilworth. Among the leading hopes. ABSOLUTELY YES (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.75 lengths away in sixth over 1100m at Kenilworth. Juan Paul V'd Merwe gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Better than recent efforts suggest.
