Formscan  - FORTIFICATION was an expensive breeze-up purchase so it will have been a tough decision to geld him. That probably played a part in helping him break through at Wolverhampton, though, and he can take the necessary step forward to defy an opening mark of 81. Magic Stone had Baker Blue half a length behind when third on his all-weather debut and didn't get the rub of the green so should be able to confirm his superiority. Guernsey Angel beat a subsequent winner over C&D so commands attention too.
