Blue April was second in this grade at Taunton last time but never threatened the winner. Grey Atlantic Way was well beaten on his only previous try over this trip but hasn’t travelled over from Ireland for nothing. Pemberley is probably capable of better but we’ll give another chance to AMZAC MAGIC, who was well backed in a higher grade at Fontwell but got going too late and couldn’t peg back the first two on the short run-in – he’s only a pound higher here.
