11/2

17/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and while she's not on a bad mark, a few of these boast more compelling claims.

Amber Island²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76

10/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this course (7.2f) 28 days ago but others are more persuasive.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 74| C

40/1

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 18 days ago. Still, she needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Melodic Charm (7/2), Inevitable Outcome (5/1), Caspian Queen (11/2), Poets Dance (7/1), Clever Candy (7/1), Restless Rose (15/2), Princes Des Sables (10/1), Amber Island (10/1), Minhaaj (16/1), Newscaster (18/1), Betsey Trotter (22/1), Bettys Hope (28/1), Yolo Again (40/1)

INEVITABLE OUTCOME finished well from a compromising position when runner-up over C&D last time, doing well to finish as close as she did under the circumstances. A 2 lb rise for that effort is fair enough and she earns the vote ahead of Restless Rose, who put in a solid shift back from a break at Chelmsford this month. Poets Dance and Melodic Charm are others to consider.
