Race preview
AMITIE WALTZ may have risen 8lb in the ratings for a victory over a similar distance at Bath earlier this month, but the manner in which Richard Hughes' gelding galloped on strongly to win by the best part of five lengths suggests he may take that extra burden in his stride. It is also worth noting that top rider Gina Andrews is declared in the saddle and he can account for 1m2f Brighton winner French Mix, who looks dangerous if just as effective at this distance. Harry Fry's Press Gang has been knocking on the door on the all-weather and is well treated now back on turf, with the consistent Lady Makfi another who could get involved.
