The vote goes to AMOURIE, who pulled nicely clear of the rest when losing out to a well-handicapped rival at Southwell recently and she again has the assistance of good-value claimer Mark Winn. We Still Believe has to enter calculations on the back of his narrow success here, for which a 3 lb rise looks fair, and Visitant is also likely to be on the premises judged on his solid recent effort at Thirsk.
