Amethyst Dawn won four times last season and has the beating of Sir George on the book, while Snow Bay beat Guest Book at Musselburgh recently though is 5lb higher here. The latter is weighted to reverse the form with an apprentice taking the ride as Joe Fanning switches to stablemate Tartan Gunna. Last year's Bath winner Aerodynamic will have come on for a recent pipe-opener and Shadowtime and Arabian Spirit also have claims, but a chance is taken on SUITS ME. He's joined David Barron since his fourth in the Winter Derby at Lingfield three weeks ago and an 8lb drop in the weights back on turf looks rather generous for a horse that still retains plenty of ability.
