Verdict
James Given's filly Amber Legend takes a big drop in class, and gets a confident vote to add to her Southwell victory, with Tanara and Intitnice the main dangers. Amber Legend began her racing career with an emphatic maiden victory on the sand at Southwell, and as such was a big disappointment when trailing in last on her turf debut at Newcastle. However, the change of surface can't be the only reason for that display and in this much weaker race she is fancied to resume winning ways. Tanara began her career as a stablemate of the selection, and was sixth at Wolverhampton on her first start for Roy Brotherton last month. While her form is not exactly inspiring, she could be capable of reaching the frame here, a remark which also applies to Alan Berry's Intitnice. He drops in class after a fair effort in a Ripon maiden last time, and is just preferred to Cute Cait, runner-up in a claimer at Leicester recently.
