Plenty of course winners on show but Dr Red Eye's last win here was back in 2011 and Be Royale looks in the handicapper's grip. Quadriga landed a double here earlier but was raised 10lb for his latest success so Amenable makes more appeal off his current mark having won here in January. A rejuvenated CONRY won four times last year, including a victory over a mile here, and has slipped back down the weights this season. He went close at Catterick last time and Ian Williams' charge may come good again in this.
