    Verdict

    Amy Louise can improve again to beat Chisom and Almowj, with newcomers Ocean Sunrise and Emilion the other ones to note. With the stalls sited on the inside, Amy Louise has a plumb draw in stall one as she bids to go one better than when second to the odds-on Jamieson Gold over six furlongs here at the beginning of August. She showed plenty of pace that day, and although a step up in trip would not come amiss in future, the daughter of Swain should be good enough today. Chisom does get an extra furlong, having finished third behind Maggie Minx here in rain-softened ground recently and may improve enough to give the selection most to do. Almowj is a half-brother to Penkenna Princess and showed promise when fifth behind River Thames at Yarmouth. That form has been advertised since with the third, Expensive, going on to beat Flashy Wings no less at the weekend. Clive Brittain's charge can also be involved in the finish. Mark Johnston's juveniles are always to be feared so Ocean Sunrise, a daughter of Danehill could be good enough to be in the shake-up, although obviously she will be better for the run, as will Newmarket raider Emilion. The one to be on today though is Amy Louise.
