Second twice on the Flat in Ireland this year when trained by Jim Bolger, Feach Amach may prove the pick of the newcomers ahead of Book Of Tales who has won middle-distance handicaps at Bath and Yarmouth this year on fast ground. Dance Havana beat Grain Of Hope over 1m6f at Thirsk last month but her jumping left something to be desired at Uttoxeter. A blunder at the first didn’t help CITY OF RUINS at Stratford but he didn’t make his racecourse debut until June so he still has time on his side.
