Amber Flush is only 3lb higher than when winning over course and distance last summer and was an encouraging third at Uttoxeter two runs ago, though disappointed again next time. THREE COLOURS RED (NAP) looks a far more reliable proposition as he has a first and a second to his name in two previous runs over track and trip and was a fair third reverting to hurdles at Hexham – winning rider Tom O’Brien is back on board. Stable companion Tir Dubh could sneak into a place and it would be no surprise to see some improvement in Western Breeze but Barney From Tyanee is better over shorter distances.
