Formscan  - Although AMALFI BAY was disappointing when pulling up on his handicap bow over hurdles at Taunton in February, there is a sneaking suspicion that this return to quicker ground could unlock significant improvement. Anthony Honeyball's gelding was a useful performer on the Flat and is worth chancing in an open event. Military Tycoon boasts a similar profile to the selection and any market support would be interesting, while Silverbridge should appreciate the rise in distance.
