Verdict

Amber Heights has gone close on the all-weather this year but doesn't look particularly well handicapped as she searches for her first win while both of Clear Spring's victories this season came over 7f. Homeboy posted a better effort when third over C&D last week but finished last in soft ground before that so a chance is taken on MEMPHIS MAN as he won off a higher mark last year and didn't get a clear run when fourth at Ayr last time. Ridgeway Sapphire and Microlight are C&D winners but out of sorts at present.
