Rebecca Curtis' stable has been flying lately and her AMBER GAMBLER arrives here with a tall reputation having won a point-to-point at Kilworth in November by 10 lengths. He can make a winning start under Rules as Oskar's Eve ran green when third at Ffos Las and may need more time. Hatton Bank was only beaten a couple of lengths at Bangor, however, and will know more today. Astre Rose should make a jumper but is probably best watched today.
