Verdict

FORTUNE DE MER left his hurdling debut form behind when winning a Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham last month and, with better still to come, he is taken to follow up on his handicap bow. Moveit Like Minnie ran well when third behind the subsequent Greatwood winner at this C&D 20 days ago and is next on the list, ahead of Poet Laureate who represents last year's winning yard.
