This looks a competitive opener but Blooriedotcom should probably be treated with caution making his debut over the larger obstacles. Miss Amelia has not won in five previous visits here but she quickened away from the in-form Wheelbahri at Carlisle three weeks ago and Tom Midgley takes off 5lb again. Dr Sanderson looks out of sorts but there may be more to come from LOVELY MOON, who shaped nicely here last week having a first run over fences in the UK. Fulgurix keeps finding one too good and doesn’t always find a great deal under pressure.
