MISS AMELIA has never won on soft going but she did win on heavy here back in December. She’s 10lb higher now but she was only headed at the last on her reappearance at Hexham and is one of the more likely winners. Arcade Attraction had Joey Steel and Yourholidayisover behind when scoring at Ffos Las but has been put up 10lb for that. Khairagash could figure but has to overcome a lengthy absence so Bering Upsun, in first-time cheekpieces, makes more appeal.
