AMETHYST DAWN looks the one to side with on recent form. Although up 5lb as a result of success at Newcastle on heavy ground, her ability to handle such going and with a suitable trip she can take this race. There are plenty of dangers in an open looking affair but the chief threat could be The Fifth Member who was second behind Osteopathic Remedy at Newcastle last time out. He holds City Of The Kings, Arabian Spirit and Faithful Ruler on that run. Arabian Spirit won over course and distance in August but prefers good ground. Amethyst Dawn gets the vote.
