Verdict
Amlovi returns from a break but any market interest in the course winner would have to be taken seriously. Pawpaw had a run on the Flat last month and the maiden Doireann was only headed at the last at Fakenham last time but Inferno Sacree weakened quickly at Ffos Las in November. GETAWAY TOM, brother to a winner in Ireland, makes his handicap debut after the requisite three runs in novice company and isn’t highly tried.
