Formscan - Lord Of Cheshire hasn't been seen since a taking success at Kempton in April 2025 and although he's entitled to need this first run back, the nine-year-old is still interesting and a market check is advised. Major Fortune is likely to have come forward for his reappearance at Perth, but SHELDON is a course scorer and the consistent veteran edges the vote on ground which suits him.
