AMERICAN MONEY was much-improved when making a winning handicap debut over 20.3f here last month and, with the potential to do better still now upped in trip, he is taken to follow up. The hat-trick seeking Appian Way is greatly respected on his first start for Gordon Elliott but the selection may have most to fear from Friends N Commerce, who returned to form when runner-up here last time. Rebellious Gale also merits respect, while Some Woman and West of Carrig are likely improvers.
