This looks a trappy event but Richard Hannon's Oakley Rambo may just prove good enough if running to the mark he achieved when a good fourth to Green Line at Newmarket last month. Royal Hunt Cup also-rans Calcutta and Muchea will do well to recover from their exertions last week and more danger may come from hattrick seeking Amoras who bids to follow up gutsy successes at Brighton and Leicester recently and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Indian Plume is sure to bowl along but may have to give best again inside the distance.
