Noah Amor has been in cracking form in four runs for this yard and ought to prove popular in the betting here. This is a tougher test for him however and his momentum might just get checked. Bronze Beau went very close over C&D last time and is much-respected as a result. He may want the lead once again to aid his case. Jack Luey would hold claims on a going day but this might go to top weight ONE BOY. Things didn't pan out last time at the Curragh but with 2lb now back in hand, he has decent claims if able to repeat last month's Musselburgh run.
