Verdict
Big Time Maybe won at this fixture last year and finished in front of Hot Hot Hot when beaten a length back here last month. But ANDRE AMAR went close off a similar mark at the track at the end of last season and will be sharper for a recent comeback at Bath. Kath's Toyboy and Jack Ryan have not been at their best lately while Nigg Bay’s recent second here came in a lowly classified race.
