      Verdict

      Achnamara won easily at Wolverhampton back in January but has been raised 8lb for his troubles while Aegis Power placed yet again when second at Kempton but one of the less exposed types is preferred. William Buick prefers Last Ammo, third of only four runners on the all-weather last time, to stablemate Deciduous with the latter finishing just behind SALVATOR MUNDI at Kempton last month. The Gosdens’ colt has subsequently gone close over a shorter trip at Windsor and can go one better with Frankie taking over the reins.
