FIVE AMARONES romped home by over four lengths at Thirsk recently. The handicapper has raised him 13lb for that success but he only carries a 6lb penalty in this novices race and a double looks on the cards. Sense of Belonging also has a shout at the weights and is preferred to the more-exposed Joza while Chapman Billy is likely to improve though stablemate Lexington Palm is related to winners and City Tour is another newcomer to keep an eye on representing Mark Johnston as he’s a half-brother to a Listed winner.
