Strawberrymystique has raced exclusively on the Polytrack so far and scored at Wolverhampton in March. AMPLEFORTH makes more appeal as he's proven in today's ground with a win at Hamilton last season and his latest third on the all-weather suggests Ian Williams' charge is up to scoring off his current mark. Colinca's Lad is 8lb higher than April's win at Yarmouth and may struggle again while, try as he might to register his first win on Turf, The Lock Master keeps finding one too good.
