FORTUNATE MAN (2) always looked to be doing enough when getting off the mark over fences by a neck at Aintree 24 days ago. The application of first-time cheekpieces may bring about further improvement. Selected to follow up. ART DECCO (1) completed a fences hat-trick last season. Shortlist after going down by a neck returning in a handicap chase at Exeter during December. REGATTA DE BLANC (3) was below par tackling fences at Hereford last time but remains lightly raced. Could do better now up in trip. FROM THE ASHES (4) is worth noting from an each-way perspective.
