GRAMERCY is well clear on official ratings and, though now a long way below the form that has taken him to six victories, should still have enough quality to see off this bunch. Noah Amor gained his only victory in a Beverley handicap last summer but showed a bit more dash at Newcastle in February and runs for Richard Fahey for the first time. The Magic Pencil, a winner at Newcastle in December, has run poorly since but is tried in a first-time visor while Tango Sky's last victory was on this course in 2015, though he hasn't been running badly on the all-weather.
