Air Force Amy was too keen on her reappearance at Goodwood but has claims if she settles better here. PERSIAN BEAUTY ran much better than expected at Kempton at the start of the month and this well-bred daughter of Dubawi, a full sister to three winners, could be thrown in on her handicap debut if she handles the switch to Turf. Tralee Hills is only 2lb higher when successful on his latest start at Lingfield and has won on good to soft while conditions won’t be a problem for the returning Bombero. The handicapper, however, appears to have done Latin Knight no favours.
