The veteran Lytham has gained nine victories on the all-weather and will be fancied for number ten after another very good effort behind Buddy Holly at Kempton where Colonel Sherman was behind. The three-year-old Revolutionary ran a shocker at Lingfield last time but earlier efforts put him in the frame for this and he may just have had an off-day. AMICABLE RISKS gained his only victory in 37 starts over this C&D so he's hardly reliable but he's generally competed at a higher level and would have a chance second to none on his effort behind Wrecking Crew here in May.
