This won’t take much winning but Duffy Allen returns from a lay-off. Mister Kalanisi does not look the force of old and Tickanrun has become disappointing. Amble Inn has shown some improvement lately, however, and it would be no surprise to see a better run from Kiwayu. ILEWINDELILAH is still 10lb higher than when successful at Fontwell in October but she’s a thorough stayer and should enjoy this stiff track. She looks the one to beat as Welcome Polly has plenty to prove.
