Ami Li Bert got up close home to beat NEVER SAID NOTHING over 1m2f at Nottingham and is only a pound worse off. But the top weight may well reverse the placings over this shorter trip. Comvida was third over 7f here last time but will need to reverse that form with second Red Maharani. Big Boris may be best of the rest.
