Fontwell Park Race 1 - Mercedes-Benz Of Chichester Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
HIDDEN FORTUNE (3) was a good winner on sole point-to-point outing before finishing runner-up in jumpers flat races at Market Rasen and Fakenham. May go one better making hurdle debut. SORGEAN (9) placed second on final point-to-point outing before shedding the maiden tag on first start under rules in a jumpers flat race at Wincanton a month ago. Might gain a double. SHUTFRONTDOOR (8) is racing consistently with one win and three placed efforts from five career attempts including placing second at Plumpton. Expected to challenge. SECRET DES LUNE (7) cannot be discounted having secured a last-start victory at Plumpton.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 38 days. Last outing finished second in a small field at Fakenham on April 6 over 3200m, 1.75 len behind L'amandine with 71kg at $1.80. At only start last preparation made some head-way from midfield; finished second in a small field at Market Rasen on November 26 over 3300m, 1.5 len behind Moore Brion with 67.5kg at $3.50. Rates well again here and looks one of the leading chances.
