Sam Bellamy has gone up 4lb for a narrow victory over track and trip last month but shouldn’t be far away again. Amal hasn’t been running badly and is back on a winning mark while Beryl Burton has dropped a pound since a third at Chepstow. OCEAN WILDE’s first career victory came over an extended 5f here last time but he’d shown previously that he stays this far and he looks to be heading in the right direction. Toronado Grey drops into this grade for the first time and shouldn’t be left out of calculations.
