Amalfi Bay completed a double over 1m4f at Epsom with last month’s success and can figure again if lasting home.

Spirit Mixer has been competing in better company over shorter trips at Newmarket and beat Systemic earlier while Temple Lock scored over today’s distance at Bath on his latest start but is upped in class today.
