A modest beginning with Amazing Amaya’s victory here last month coming in a classified stakes – her only win in handicap company so far came at Southwell. True Hero is penalised for winning on Fibresand last Friday so this looks a good opportunity for NELLIE FRENCH (NAP) to follow up her recent course and distance success as she overcame trouble in-running to score a shade cosily in the end. Red Stripes is often placed but is 0-31 here.
