A very tricky contest in which most of these can be ruled out with confidence. A chance is taken that AMBERINE can progress from an encouraging run here last week when she was making her seasonal reappearance. She has shown she goes well at this track in the past and is still lightly raced for a five-year-old. After coming from out the clouds to gain his first career success when dropping down to 5f for the first time, Pocket Warrior may have more to offer and looks next best. There is still time for Brogan's Bay to make her presence felt at this level, as she displayed mild promise when making her 5f debut at Lingfield behind an odds-on favourite.
