Don't Be completed a four-timer when scoring narrowly at Lingfield last month from today's rival FASHION LINE. The latter, who was returning from a long break, has since run well in a much better handicap and can turn the tables and take this. Golden Amber is well held on that earlier run while the selection was well in front of Oasis Spirit in the lucrative fillies' championship at Lingfield in April. Fab Lolly was also behind in that latter event and hasn't run subsequently though James Bethell knows how to get one ready after a break.
