LONGEST TRAVELLERS: AMBER HONEY trained by E Dunlop, FRANCESI trained by S Woods, DARLO LADY trained by A Carson, NIGHT ARC trained by R Burdon, all Newmarket, 125 miles.
Previous C&D winner AMBER HONEY has been knocking on the door with three runner-up finishes in her last four all-weather starts, including here 21 days ago and this consistent filly can go one better. Of the rest, Boujee Gold could be worth another chance back over this trip, while Night Arc has run well here and merits respect on stable debut
