Rated 122 and only narrowly beaten the last twice, AMENON is a rare runner here for Paul Nicholls and can reward the long journey with a first victory. Following seconds at Ayr and Musselburgh, Salvino underwent wind surgery and Sandy Thomson’s charge looks the main danger ahead of the Irish raiders Haribo Collonges and Laffite. Warwick third Sporty Jim may be the pick of Olly Murphy’s pair.
