Solid tempo anticipated with True Amor and November Air matching motors. HELL TO PAY (2) ticks plenty of boxes with proven fresh form and obvious results at this track. Coming off two trials looks all set to give this a shake. CORREON (4) battled on fairly first-up after a strong finish to last year. Finds his right trip now and a poor draw the only chink. TRUE AMOR (5) has looked clean winded in two recent trial wins and showed talent last campaign. Drawn wide but should be prominent from the off. BRUTAL BOWLER (3) delivered two handy efforts to start the campaign and has been freshened since with a tick over trial. Expected to be strong late. PARIAH ENGAGEMENT (8) is both an upside and a keep safe option resuming with a senior rider on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hell To Pay win. Box Quinella 2 4 5.
