In depth

Verdict

Amalfi Bay completed a double over 1m4f at Epsom with last month’s success and can figure again if lasting home. But GRAND SCHEME showed further improvement upped to 1m5f at Lingfield last time and the Hannon colt gets another chance in this. Spirit Mixer has been competing in better company over shorter trips at Newmarket and beat Systemic earlier while Temple Lock scored over today’s distance at Bath on his latest start but is upped in class today.
