Raphello (9/4), The Love Machine (5/1), Idiocracy (11/2), Fortuity (13/2), Felix Somary (7/1), Coincidental Glory (7/1), Pliny (8/1), Saxon Grace (25/1), Methodtomy Madness (28/1), Whoopi G (66/1)
FORTUITY ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Next on the list is Raphello, who hasn't looked especially progress in his three starts, but he clearly possesses ability and is the clear pick of those with experience. Pliny is another noteworthy newcomer, while Methodtomy Madness is open to improvement following an encouraging recent debut at Cork.
