Ambala has more on her plate than when successful on the Polytrack earlier this month but is less exposed than some. Vita Lika has Frankie to do the steering but tries a new trip after failing to justify favouritism in a maiden at Ffos Las four weeks ago and Getcarter also has his stamina to prove. Fujin Dancer is certain to stay, however, having won over hurdles and at this trip at Pontefract. Richard Hughes won on Brian Ellison's six-year-old at Hamilton last year but the top weight tends to do best for Harriet Bethell nowadays. ROCKY REBEL is still a maiden but may find this galloping track more to his liking having been confined to the Polytrack lately. He has ability and could be good enough to land the spoils in a modest finale.
