Amanto has gained all of his three all-weather victories on this track including two over the distance. BALLYDOYLE has been based in Germany, France and is now with Gary Moore. He's gradually improved for the yard and though just behind Lyrica's Lion when they occupied the placed over the track and trip last time he can reverse the form and land this. Affair was beaten a head when last seen over the course and distance in August and is only 2lb higher while Uncle Bernie is on the same mark as when successful in an amateurs' race here in December and arrives in winning form having scored at Wolverhampton. Archie Watson's Keane's Kingdom has only had two runs and is one to keep an eye on.
