        Verdict

        This has a very open look about it. Nietzsche is versatile and has won 11 of his 64 career starts. AMALFI BAY has only won at Epsom so far but gets on well with Thomas Greatrex, who is back in the saddle today. Greatness Awaits is closely matched with the top weight on the form book while Hilts won at Redcar and Musselburgh in the spring. Auntie Margaret has claims on her latest second at Ripon but Belle Of Annandale continues to frustrate. Matched is less exposed and could be well treated on his handicap debut.
