None of this bunch inspire confidence but DECLAMATION will be sharper for a belated reappearance at Kempton and the dual course and distance winner gets a token vote. Tan should also have improved for a recent outing at Nottingham and may figure while Gorgeous General is at his best on today’s surface and could also go well. Scuzeme still looks high enough in the weights as does Amelia R, who was well beaten on her only previous outing at this venue.
