A good turn-out with AMISTRESS taking the eye after a splendid effort at Glorious Goodwood last week in a highly competitive handicap. She has already racked up three successes this term and will surely go close off her unchanged mark if in anything like the same form as last week with trip and ground ideal. Plattsburgh is 6lb worse off with Romeo Montague for when the pair last met but can confirm the form as he seems a different animal having moved to the Mark Johnston camp. The latter remains a danger but is rather quirky and will require kid glove treatment on the evidence to date. Hawaana has plenty of weight to shoulder whilst the consistent My Valley has been running over further.
