Andrew Fortune rides at Kenilworth on Saturday for the first time since Queen’s Plate day and the former champion has seven booked mounts.

He partners the maiden Copper Force for Eric Sands in the Cape Of Good Hope Nursery for which the Joey Ramsden-trained Somerset 1200 winner Attenborough (Donovan Dillon) is expected to start favourite.

Justin Snaith’s Perfect Promise scorer The Merry Widow (Bernard Fayd’Herbe), unbeaten in three starts, seems sure to head the market for the Kenilworth Fillies Nursery.

The meeting starts early, with the first race at 11.35am, to avoid a clash with the big races at Greyville.
