North Of Amazing was a well-beaten third on his reappearance and handicap debut at Haydock last week but was beaten less than a length by Beau Jardine at Newmarket last year and is now 11lb better off. Double Dealing has rattled up a hat-trick on the all-weather this season but we’ll take a chance that THIRD KINGDOM (NAP) handles conditions as the Gosdens’ colt had a couple of subsequent winners behind when winning easily at Newcastle in September.
