A low-grade handicap in which Amtired is likely to be fancied having won over hurdles and on Fibresand but he's never been placed in six outings on Turf on the Flat. Valantino Oyster is the only course and distance winner and though running poorly at present it wouldn't be a shock to see him in the firing line from this mark. Red Tyke is consistent enough but is best with some give in the ground so it's HONOURED who gets the verdict as he scored over 1m2f on good going here last summer and has no problems staying the longer trip. Celtic Step also won over that distance here in July but is now 7lb higher.
