Not seen for over two years and can only be watched on his debut for a new yard. Conditions likely to be a little quick for him anyway and he's 1lb above his last winning mark.

Badly out of form in recent times and only beaten a total of two horses home in his last five starts. Enjoys fast ground and on a fair mark at least.

Has won back-to-back races twice in his career and worth following when he hits a bit of form but handicapper appears to have him currently and most of his best efforts have come with cut in the ground.

Largely struggled for Paul Nicholls in his time with that trainer but he's proved a different prospect since the switch to this Gloucestershire yard. Having won at 40/1 at Lingfield in February he went on to finish second to a well handicapped looking rival before winning again at that same course. Stayed on gamely and pulled out more when needed but only gone up another 3lb in the handicap for that. Shouldn't be underestimated.

9/4
Took advantage of his reduced mark on return to action last time on return from an absence and has possibly improved over the winter. The concern would be that it's best to catch him fresh when bearing in mind he won on reappearance last year. Proven at this course having won here last time at least, so not dismissed.

Finally off the mark in a maiden at Lingfield at the start of this year and backed that up with another win at this course. Has held her form well without winning since and fair effort behind October Storm here last time but there's probably stronger form lines in the book.

Races from a lower turf mark than he competes off on the AW and better suited to a faster surface than what he's likely to get here. Still 5lb above his last winning turf mark and probably best watched for now.

7/1
Won well at Chepstow last time and he's an effective front-runner when he gets his own way out front. On a career high mark now though and this looks tougher so he's not sure to back that effort up.

Forecasts

October Storm (9/4), Medburn Cutler (7/2), Ayr Of Elegance (5/1), Under Attack (6/1), Cotton Club (13/2), Akavit (7/1), Amanto (10/1), Mazalto (14/1), Chartbreaker (16/1), Foresee (20/1), One Pursuit (50/1)

Verdict

AMANTO looks like a diffferent horse this season and the game attitude he showed last time should hold him in good stead for today's contest. October Storm won well here last time out while Under Attack is still lightly raced and should be considered if he takes up this engagement.
  1. Amanto
  2. October Storm
  3. Under Attack
