Amantius, placed at Chelmsford and Newbury last month, drops a grade for this and has the beating of Delagoa Bay on the form book. Druot is starting to come down the weights while Dynamo has won at Bath and on Polytrack at Lingfield this year so looks a danger to all. JUDITH GARDENIER is much-improved since upped in trip and only found one too good last time on this surface at Newcastle. She beat Impeccability that day and has the beating of Top Set on collateral form so looks the one to beat.
