AMAZING JOURNEY will likely prove popular in this sprint handicap and rightly so, because he won impressively at Kempton and won't mind switching to turf judged on last summer's form at Chepstow and York. Dream Composer and Desert Cop have penalties to contend with for recent victories at Windsor and it's Tony Carroll's charge who is slightly more appealing given he boasts winning course form.
The 3yo AMAZING JOURNEY reappeared with a fair run at Leicester and built on that nicely by winning with something to spare at Kempton three weeks ago. He's up 6lb but remains open to further progress. Fellow 3yo Goldwork ran to his best down to 6f last time and should again go well, while Sir Garfield, a winner at Catterick on reappearance, is respected up 3lb on this visit down south.
