JUST AMAZING makes a swift reappearance after making a winning return to action over 2m4f at Sandown on Friday and should have few problems adding to his tally. Paul Nicholls' eight-year-old has won five of his 10 starts over fences and looks in a different league to his rivals. Ice Bucket was demoted to third after passing the post in second place behind Oca De Thaix at Ludlow earlier this month and will probably be challenging for a place again while it will be interesting to see how Pimbury fares back under Rules. Peter Shaw's charge won a couple of times between the flags last spring and is probably open to improvement. Stablemates Come What Augustus and Sheriff Roscoe could be the pick of the remainder.
