Amadeus Grey is only 2lb higher than when scoring here in October with Native Silver behind. Jump The Gun has been racing on Turf but won a maiden race at the track last year and can also figure. But STRAITOUTTACOMPTON included a couple of course and distance wins in his earlier hat-trick and, back on the same mark as his latest success with a recent outing under his belt, he may come out best in this. Cesifire won easily over 7f here last month but is 8lb higher today.
