        Verdict

        Rated 83, Amourice returns to action having gone close over 7f at Newmarket on a couple of occasions back in August. She’s preferred to the four-year-old Lady Persephone, who landed a maiden race over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month. Heeyaam was beaten only a neck over track and trip recently with Queen Of Connaught back in fourth. But she was beaten by a Charlie Appleby-trained winner on that occasion so he should have a good line to the chances of ESPADRILLE, who opened her account over a mile at Kempton in November and will likely improve for this longer distance.
