No. 6

1pt win at 6-1 generallyHe might be favourite, but Green Fortune does seem to have plenty going for him as he bids to give William Haggas a birthday winner at his favourite track.

The half-brother to the stable's Raucous (earned a rating of 106 as a juvenile) has won two of his three starts and all of his form has worked out well.

He won what turned out to be a fairly hot Lingfield novice event on his debut as the next five home have won ten times between them since, and while he was only third to 50-1 shot Staxton at Haydock next time, the winner has boosted the form again since and the runner-up is now rated 97 after running fifth in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes.
