Carp Kid and Noble Fox are regularly placed off similar marks but get little respite off the handicapper as a consequence. AIR FORCE AMY escaped a penalty for an earlier success at Pontefract when only fourth over a shorter trip on the all-weather last time. But she ran into trouble in the closing stages on that occasion and gets another chance with normal luck in-running. Mouriyani’s earlier double came over longer distances while Torolight was a well-beaten second when last on the Flat and Verify makes more appeal.
