Plenty with claims though Compass Point has been raised 5lb for a recent course and distance success and Amor Fati has gone up the same amount after beating Monsieur Fox here with Dukes Meadow further behind. Accomplice had been thereabouts at the track before struggling at Kempton and Kilbaha Lady has been placed at Wolverhampton off similar marks recently. Squire went close here the last time he raced over today’s trip but MY TOWN CHICAGO is the least exposed and, after posting a better effort at Kempton on his handicap debut, he should be in the mix with any further progress.
