AMERILIS has been knocking on the door with a couple of runner-up efforts of late and is narrowly selected to go one better. Cashel Blue was just behind the selection last time and rates the chief danger, while Another Nice’day, who beat them both at Navan in July, is respected but must now confirm that form on worse terms.
