Honey I‘m Good blotted her copy book when pulled up at Ffos Las and Baby Sham has been looking in the handicapper’s grip but Stiletto has been getting closer to shedding his maiden tag. Abbeyhill is penalised for winning at Plumpton but the runner-up has franked the form and Neil Mulholland’s charge is still receiving weight all round in this. Top Cloud won at Stratford and Hereford last month but LET’S GO AMIGO’s stable is in form and the lightly-raced five-year-old should be ready to roll despite having a first run since a staying-on second at Ludlow in May. Izzy‘s Grey is upped in trip having a first run for a new yard.
