Not the greatest of opening races but Amicable Terms comes here in good form and if allowed to take part she gets the vote ahead of Split The Wind and Gracechurch. Rae Guest has done well with this filly as she has taken plenty of racing this season and is yet to run a bad race. She wasn't beaten far recently at Lingfield and with this track unlikely to cause any problems, she should run a big race. Gracechurch was last seen over the sticks when not beaten far at Stratford, and previous flat form should mean that he isn't far away at the line here. Split The Wind ran well up to a point last time in a weak seller at the track, whilst Old Romney is well-treated on old form and ran much better last time out; this Michael Wigham runner should be watched in the betting. At a price Sir Liam has place claims at least; however it is Amicable Terms who gets the nod.
