3/1

11/8, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Worth considering on that evidence if proving as effective under these much softer conditions.

Amayretto (3/1), Buttercross Flyer (9/2), Roman Secret (5/1), Between Me And U (5/1), Tipsy Tiger (15/2), May (8/1), This Years Love (11/1), Makuri (16/1), Silver Shamrock (22/1), Bella Wella (40/1)

AMAYRETTO confirmed the promise of her Newcastle second when running out a good winner of a Redcar nursery (1m) 21 days ago and, in the hope the much softer ground doesn't inconvenience her, she looks set to make her presence felt again. Buttercross Flyer and nursery-debutant This Years Love are others to consider, with Between Me And U another not out of things on the pick of his form.
