Verdict

Though he met trouble in-running and is improving, it's difficult to see how Amour de Nuit can confirm last month's Lingfield running with THE CASHEL MAN and Fitzwilly off an 11lb higher mark. David Simcock's charge had won his two previous starts and can get back on track here. Treasure The Ridge has the beating of Dambuster on the form book but is giving a lot of weight to the three-year-olds. Song Light may be warming up for a campaign over timber but Longshadow is a stout stayer with place prospects ahead of Munstead Pride, who has stamina to prove.
