Verdict

Amber Valley gets the vote here with Esprit d'Amour and Fongs Gazwlle rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth on her debut behind Sultaqi despite running green, she is sure to have learnt from the experience and from a good draw is taken to score. Esprit d'Amour rates the main danger as she also ran with a fair degree of promise on her debut when sixth behind Prospect Place. That form has since been franked and she should be noted in the market but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Fongs Gazelle is a well bred type from a top yard and could go well but her stables two year olds have yet to hit top form and for that reason is oppose. Of the remainder The Mighty Ogmore is another that catches the eye on breeding but may be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Amber Valley who is taken to put her experience to good use.
