Verdict

Plenty in with chances in a competitive renewal, the narrow vote in favour of AMATEUR. John Flint's charge justified market support when resuming winning ways at Ffos Las 2 weeks ago and, in the hope this doesn't come too quick, he can be expected to make his presence felt again. Some Detail will be a danger to all if they go a good pace, whilst School Lane, Dubai Devils and Poppa Poutine are others worth a look.

  1. AMATEUR (IRE)
