AMANTO should really be up to winning a race like this if anywhere near his best. Paul Nicholls appears to have his stable firing on all cylinders again, though Muffins For Tea should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way as he's been steadily improving and only found one too good here last month though was beaten 14 lengths. Fille Des Champs has a jumping pedigree and is a possible improver, as is Meme's Horse.
