Verdict

A very modest seller that appears to be at the mercy of Countrywide Belle, who is selected ahead of She Whispers and Skin Sure Thing. There may also be more to come from Royal Amnesty at this level and the Greg Chung-trained colt is one for each-way backers to bear in mind. Skin Sure Thing was no match for the selection when they met here last month and will do very well to reverse the form on the same terms. He did pull very hard in the first time visor on that occasion, though and, should he settle a little better; he may well post an improved effort this time around. She Whispers is also a threat on the pick of her form and, as she has run well over course and distance before, the step up in trip should not be an issue where she is concerned. Robert Winston is an eye-catching jockey booking and a bold bid is anticipated. However, Countrywide Belle has a more consistent profile on the all weather and, as she would be giving weight away all round if this were a handicap, she has an obvious chance of adding to her tally this afternoon.
