Verdict
An Irish point-to-point winner, HIDDEN FORTUNE posted a couple of encouraging efforts in bumpers before making a successful debut over hurdles at Fontwell. She finished nicely clear of the opposition and is taken to defy a penalty for last year's winning trainer. Mighty Fleur made every yard over 2m4f at Fakenham, so this shorter distance may not prove too much of an inconvenience. She rates a bigger threat than last month's Hereford winner Iamyouare.
Expert View Verdict
HIDDEN FORTUNE had a bit in hand when making a winning hurdle debut and with her previous bumper form franked she is fancied to defy a penalty. The point winner is likely capable of much better for her top yard and can defeat another strong stayer Mighty Fleur. She was given a fine ride from the front when beating a next time out winner last time and is respected under a penalty but she may find this on the sharp side. Recent handicap winner Jolissaint is also respected dropping in trip.
