Yenaled knows how to win and should have come on for his recent run, however Amnesty is taken to resume winning ways now dropped in grade again. Gary Moore's gelding never really got competitive last time out in handicap company but he knows how to win at this level, and in selling company. He is a hold up horse who needs a decent pace, but if things go his way then he should be hard to beat, as he has won on soft ground on the flat previously. Yenaled has had plenty of races and is sure to have come on for a recent outing; the drop in trip will not hinder his chances. Better Moment is a course and distance winner and should run well, whilst Come Bye is dropped in grade. He romped home when dropped in class previously and must be rated as the main danger to the selection, however it is Amnesty who is taken to oblige.
