Devasboy disappointed last time having earlier won at Newcastle but AMANDA HUG’N’KISS was beaten only a length on her handicap debut having won over track and trip before that. She gets another chance in this with most of the remainder returning from lay-offs including Way To Win, Galileo Glass, Meng Tian and Leopold Bloom. The latter is the least exposed of those and is also preferred to new stablemate Robasta.
