Verdict

Ed Bethell is enjoying an excellent August and AMBER HAMUR can provide him with another winner and complete a hat-trick of her own. Trucial Pearl remains nicely handicapped on the form of her Ripon win and is feared most ahead of Vitality, who has often proved a bit too headstrong for her own good since a good run at Epsom in the spring but Danny Tudhope could be the man to settle her.
