Desperate stuff but there has to be a winner and AMOURIE has only found one too good the last twice. Bay Of Naples has won at the track and should play a part but the returning Silver Bubble is 0-14 on the all-weather, though did win four times at Brighton last year. Destinado is still 5lb higher than when runner-up here in January though did win a classified stakes at Wolverhampton later.
