Amalfi Salsa took a long while to get off the mark but Morgan Cole keeps the ride and is able to take a further 2lb off now up against the professionals. In a race where form is inconsistent to say the least, the eye is certainly caught by the booking of Paul Mulrennan aboard RATAFIA and it could be that a drop in class is what Michael Herrington’s gelding has needed. Chifa kept on well at Wolverhampton on his seasonal reappearance and is fresh from a victory at Ffos Las on the Turf. Chantreys was a beaten favourite when last seen here and the cheekpieces are on after a better run at Ayr.
