Amanpuri looks to have good solid claims here and is taken to score at the main expense of Copplestone and Righty Ho. The selection ran really well last time when second behind Court One at Warwick, and with conditions more to suit here this gelding from the Paul Blockley yard is nominated as a confident choice. Although we are sweet on the chances of our selection, Copplestone is returning from a spell over hurdles and is an obvious danger. He would certainly have a chance on the pick of his flat form and as he is fit he could be capable of going well. Righty Ho hasn't won for nearly three years but he goes well fresh and could be capable of running into a place. The rest don't make much appeal, and we are happy to stick with Amanpuri as our confident selection.
