The Nail Gunner has won twice at Wolverhampton so far this year and Bomb Squad went close at the same track in May. Miss Bella Brand has been thereabouts over 7f recently while Sir Gregory scored over track and trip back in April and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. But AMASOVA was beaten less than a length when dead-heating for second at Bath last time and may prove the one to side with in this.
