Verdict
This has an open look to it but Amoras might be able to land another course and distance win. Second to Gracia at Epsom last time, she also comes here in good heart, which is another good thing. Plenty of others in with chances, though. These include Sir Michael Stoute's recent Pontefract winner Rossellini, Andrew Balding's good Goodwood second Opera Glass - the winner Hoh Buzzard has since gone on to score in much better company - Mark Johnston's recent Hamilton winner Marinas Charm, Michael Bell's lightly-raced Aunt Rita, and Looking Down, if she puts her best foot forward. Overall, though, a tentative vote goes to Aunt Rita.
