Verdict

After a slow start, the penny has dropped with Amour de Nuit over hurdles and he’s won two of his last three and been placed in a competitive handicap at Taunton. He’ll make a bold bid here, despite a double penalty, but there should be more to come from TALENT TO AMUSE. Emma Lavelle’s filly has only won a couple of minor contests so far but she’s suited by sharp tracks like this and is fancied to complete her hat-trick. Champagne City was a three-times winner on the Flat as a juvenile and rated in the 90s last year so is an interesting recruit for Tom George and he has more scope than Plumpton winner Adrrastos.
