AMENON ran easily his best race to date when second in a Sandown novices’ handicap three weeks ago racing off a mark of 118 – he’s not going to get many better chances to break his duck. Tigerbythetail has run three solid races over this sort of trip and is unlikely to be far away again and Could Talkaboutit should also be in the firing-line having chased a useful odds-on favourite on his second outing over timber at Taunton.
