      Verdict

      AMBASSADOR has maintained a decent level of form in three starts since scoring at Hereford, despite finding one too good on each occasion. He has more experience than Southwell maiden winner Peaked Too Soon, though Kim Bailey’s charge is open to plenty of improvement. It’s hard to make a case for any of the others barring accidents.
