Verdict

Despite pulling up here last time, Go Amwell has an excellent record at this venue and his yard is in fine fettle at present. He has gained his last five wins here and it would be dangerous to leave him out of calculations. Artic Night has delivered consistently good form of late for the Twiston-Davies team, has won on extremes of ground and should go close in his current mood. Bravo Riquet has claims at his best and probably required his reappearance run when well beaten at Towcester, a performance that should definitely have swept the cobwebs away. ELEGANT OLIVE has gained all three career wins here and is 2lb lower than when last successful. She showed glimpses of her best last time and is worth a speculative punt.
