Amantius is penalised for winning over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton during the week. But earlier poor efforts over hurdles don't bode well for him lasting home while Ice Apple finished runner-up over track and trip back in May but went wrong on her latest start and hasn't raced since June. Roy Rocket is getting closer and finished third over today's trip at Lingfield last month but KATIE GALE was beaten only a head over course and distance last week and is fancied to go one better today.
