A progressive three-year-old for the Johnston yard, AMBLESIDE (NAP) was dropped back to 1m2f on his belated reappearance and debut for Mick Easterby. Back over his winning trip with Danielle Mooney claiming 7lb, he can return to winning ways. Ssafa has been raised 9lb for winning at Kempton but is partnered by the useful Louis Steward and Oisin Murphy gets the leg-up on recent Beverley winner Zeus Magic. Next Edition was still well beaten when runner-up at Thirsk and Northside Prince is preferred on his fourth at Newcastle.
