Verdict
If earlier results went his way, Frankie Dettori can round off a successful meeting with another winner in AMOSITE. The latter beat a couple of previous winners to score at Warwick last time and John Jenkins' mare can defy a 3lb rise and follow up. Both It's Taboo and My Own Way Home went close over 6f on their latest starts while Saint Irene drops back in distance after losing out by the narrowest of margins at Brighton on her latest start. Macchiara should be winning again this season and makes more appeal than Ellie In The Pink as the latter hasn't raced since February.
