Verdict
A competitive finale which should go to Amalfi Storm, with Colway Ritz and Kyle of Lochalsh the dangers. The selection looked the likely winner at Sedgefield last time when she finished fourth behind Leadaway. She did not get home that day so this drop in trip will suit and she looks the one to be with. Colway Ritz has been a fantastic servant to connections and he showed that he retains plenty of ability when he finished a good third behind Only Words at Wetherby last time. He could go well again tonight, as could Kyle of Lochalsh who had a pipe opener at Wolverhampton last month which should put him spot-on for this. Diamond Jack will love this ground and is another with claims, but Amalfi Storm has plenty in his favour and gets the vote.
