Amade looks sure to be popular with punters and the form of his latest run at Chelmsford looks rock solid but this isn't the easiest venue to make up ground and he wouldn't want to give the likes of WATERSMEET too much rope on the front end. Mark Johnston's runner is taken to make it third time lucky in a race he's run well in before and his ability to act over C&D is a big positive here. Spark Plug could be one to watch at this sort of trip throughout the season while Aircraft Carrier could bounce back from a below-par effort last time out.
