POST NO BILLS won over fences at Plumpton last month off a mark of 109. That was his third victory this year over the larger obstacles and, though he has only placed once in six attempts over hurdles, he gets 5lb from Worcester winner Jeudidee who was only third under a penalty at Uttoxeter last time. Amalfi Bay, twice a winner on the Flat, is almost certainly better than he’s shown so far over timber and shouldn’t be ignored.
