AMANTIUS is making rapid progress. A winner here in September, he romped home off a 10lb higher mark over course and distance last week and is the one to beat despite carrying a penalty. Irish raider Indian Scout is twice a winner at Dundalk but hasn't raced since last year while his compatriot Echua drops back in distance having gone close over 2m at Kempton recently. Dubara Reef has also been placed over longer trips of late and Point of Control is on a handy mark if back to her best.
