Boasty and Makambe drop down in trip after placing over 1m2f while Just Amber has a shout on an earlier second here but hasn’t raced since January. HELLUVABOY won here last year and only faded in the final furlong when attempting to make all at Newmarket last time - he looks worth another chance in this. Fitzrovia completed a double here at the end of last year while Opticality may improve now handicapping.
