The Defiant made all at Lingfield to end a long losing run and is only 4lb higher while Amasova has placed in both starts since scoring at Wolverhampton last month. Q Twenty Boy also won at the latter track last time and drops back down in distance but Gustav Graves looks no nearer recording his first win. SKY STORM looks to be crying out for this drop down to the minimum trip having faded in the closing stages over 6f in all four outings so far. He’ll be sharper for a recent comeback run and drops down a couple of grades on only his second start handicapping.
