Amanpuri ,The Hairy Lemon and Titian Flame look the three to concentrate on in this competitive handicap hurdle and the vote is given to Amanpuri. The selection was a good second behind All right Now M'Lad last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark and under similar conditions here he looks the one to be on. The Hairy Lemon rates the main danger on his best form but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when fifth behind Noble Request last time and he is passed over for that reason. Titian Flame is another worthy of respect on her latest fourth behind She¿s Our Native but all her best form is on a much faster surface. Of the remainder, Dark Society hails from a yard in form and has dropped to a handy mark so should be noted in the market but Amanpuri looks to be on a fair mark and he will be hard to beat.
