Verdict
AMBROSIA may have found one too good in her three runs this season but her form looks superior to that of her rivals here and she is likely to be sent off at short odds. French import Vive La Difference has her first run for Tim Easterby after a break and is best watched while it was a very modest maiden in which Guiding Passion finished fourth at Redcar in May. Ember's Glow may be the one for forecast-backers, therefore, having been placed at Redcar and Beverley lately.
