Verdict
This is not a race for maximum stakes - The Specialist is an interesting contender with an ideal draw while What A Fortune could have a say. However, THISISWHATITMEANS is up to landing this. He knows how to get his head in front and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort.
