Lord Napier was due to return from a break in the 2.20 here yesterday but would certainly have a chance in a race like this on last season’s form. In his possible absence, however, we’ll take AMALFI DOUG (NAP), who had a race named in his honour on yesterday’s card, to record a seventh course victory as he had another track specialist, Boy's On Tour, well behind here in July. Red Giant has also won around here but is out of form so Dead Right, who goes well fresh, looks a bigger danger.
Dead Right 16-1 (11-0) Tracked leaders, not fluent 13th, weakened before 3 out, last of 13, dist behind One More Fleurie (10-12) at Ayr 3m hcp (2) gd in Apr.
Amalfi Doug (FR) 11-4 (11-12) Chased leaders in 3rd, pushed along well over 3 out in 4th, kept on into 3rd under 2 out, ran on same pace and held after last, 3rd of 5, 17 1/4l behind Get Out The Gate (11-9) at Perth 3m hcp (3) gd in Jul.
