AL AMEEN (13) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fifth over 1200m at this track. George Wood who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. PITNEY (7) returns from a spell of eight months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 15th at Newmarket (Rowley) over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Solid chance first-up for the new barn. NIBRAS ANGEL (5) tackled a 1400m race at this track when fresh from a spell last start and finished fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will take a lot from that hitout so she is among the leading chances. NEWSREADER (10) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 3/01/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Southwell All Weather. Has to be respected.
