Verdict
Several of these were thereabouts on their latest starts including Jaameh over 1m6f at Haydock though he seems best at that trip. Both Torcello and Amlad ran well at Ascot on their respective latest outings with preference for the former while Amlad was runner-up at Newcastle last time and won on the July course here during the summer. But MARMAJUKE BAY landed a decent handicap at Haydock three weeks ago and Mark Usher’s charge should make a bold bid to go in again raised only 4lb.
