      Verdict

      The burden of a double penalty sets Amenable a tough task after a recent victory at Carlisle. MARIA MONTEZ is preferred as she's gone close on her last couple of starts over 6f and the drop in trip may well benefit John Hills' front-runner. The Strig won over track and trip on his last visit to this venue and is 3lb higher today while Above The Stars also won here back in May. Drawnfromthepast is best on the Polytrack though he has slipped down the weights of late.
