Though only 1-33 in career starts, FANDABIDOZI has placed in handicaps the last twice and certainly wouldn’t be winning out of turn. Twice a winner on the Flat at Epsom, Amalfi Bay has had wind surgery and is still unexposed over timber. Dream Jet started favourite on his UK debut at Market Rasen but Brian Hughes now switches to the selection. The Geordie Ginge was only beaten a neck here two runs ago and was third later at Newton Abbot so can’t be ignored but Redbridge Rambler has been absent since failing to stay 2m7f at Market Rasen in May.
