AMADEUS GREY is back on a winning mark and found only one too good over today’s trip on his Fibresand debut. Tim Easterby’s charge should make another bold bid. Challet has won a couple of handicaps since beaten here last year while both Red Jasper and Native Silver won over course and distance earlier this year and the latter is back on a winning mark. Blackcastle Storm won his maiden on this surface but Zlatan has yet to score on the all-weather.
