Ooh Aah Camara had the advantage of stall one when landing Chester's Lilly Agnes Stakes last week and, along with Bow Bridge, may struggle under her penalty so preference is for Gamble In Gold. The selection was trainer Richard Hannon's first debut winner of the season when scoring at Windsor last month, drawing clear of her 14 rivals to win in the style of a decent prospect. The soft surface today will hold no fears for the daughter of Monashee Mountain who is taken to make the most of the weight that she receives from her main rivals. Bow Bridge is an obvious danger on the form of her latest two-length defeat of Ooh Aah Camara and Mick Easterby's filly has to be respected under conditions that suit. She rates a bigger threat than Jeremy Noseda's Salut d'Amour, who probably did not beat a great deal when scoring at Hamilton last time and is held by Skyelady on running at Haydock previously. Mick Channon's Dream Rose is entitled to improve for her debut effort and is another to consider along with Peace And Love, for who the booking of Frankie Dettori takes the eye. Gamble In Gold looked one to keep on the right side of when winning at Windsor though and gets the vote.
