In depth
Verdict
Amazing Win beat Twice Red over C&D last month so a good run from the latter in the previous race would boost confidence in the chances of Mick Channon's filly. However, BLACK CADILLAC is just preferred as he's been thereabouts on both starts this year and this looks a slightly easier task. Royal Selection won her maiden here in November and may figure on her reappearance and the lightly-raced Oh My Days is worth noting for any significant support on his return to action as he was placed in both starts last year.
