        Verdict

        AMBER SUNSET gets the nod given her fine record when running on tight left-handed tracks. A respectable midfield finish at Thirsk last month, the selection has held her form well all season including when winning at Lingfield and here over course and distance. Slugger O'Toole is nicely-handicapped on this return to action but he was in poor form last year and is hard to fancy unless the market screams in his favour, and a bigger danger might be Memphis Man despite his best form coming over shorter. Leelu has a 6lb penalty for win at Goodwood, but along with the unpenalised Phluke (just out of the weights) is entitled to respect.
