Verdict
Amalfi Doug is a Perth specialist and his form away from that track is modest on the whole. Court Dreaming is back on the mark off which he won this 12 months ago but he’s only run twice this year and finished tailed off on both occasions. Jonjo O’Neill had the winner of this in 2019 and the close-up second last year. He saddles QUARTZ DU RHEU, who has been in good form at Worcester over the summer and has his ground again. Speak Of The Devil has only won at Hexham so far and has gone up 6lb since his latest success.
