        Verdict

        Rio Ronaldo finished a bit closer when third at Leicester and should be in the mix again. But AMAZOUR made the frame at Kempton last time and the winner has gone in again since. That looks the strongest form on offer and he gets the nod. Matron will likely have improved from her introduction at Newmarket and Shimmering Silver posted a better effort over track and trip last time. Biting Bullets is another to consider dropping back down in class.
