Ballyheigue Bay had to battle hard to complete his double at Ascot but has been hit with an 8lb rise. He holds Clondaw Bisto on recent form and both Sandhurst Lad and Tambura on his earlier victory here though the latter has since done better to score at Towcester. AMBERJAM has gradually been getting the hang of the job and though up 6lb for a narrow victory at Huntingdon should have more in the locker and looks the one to be on. Pop Rocksar failed in his hat-trick bid at this level and may now be a few pounds high.
