AMADEUS GREY has been in good form at Southwell and won over a mile at the latter track last time but he’s placed on Tapeta before and can go close again. Imperial Square also arrives from a run at Southwell and makes his handicap debut while Rogue Tide completed a double in October, including a course and distance success. Mabre can do better back over this longer trip while Harlow returns to the all-weather with headgear applied but Must Be An Angel runs over a mile for the first time after placing at Kempton.
