Verdict
The enigmatic Amber Fort is more than capable of winning this, but he does need things to go his way, but Top Nolans looked to be returning to form with a sound effort at Pontefract last time. He will be more at home over this trip. Double Destiny, took an age to lose his maiden tag and that win may have given his confidence a boost. Time For Music has the valuable assistance of Richard Quinn, but he has yet to win beyond six-furlongs.
