Golden Amber separated higher-rated horses when runner-up to Chookie Royale in a similar contest at Kempton last time. She has every chance on that form and Volunteer Point also has claims if back to her best having won an All-Weather Championship race back in March. She finished ahead of SQUASH (NAP) at Lingfield last month but the latter was returning from a lay-off and would go close with a repeat of her second to Nathra in the Nell Gywn at Newmarket earlier this year. Yeah Baby Yeah has bits of form that could see her figure and is preferred to winning handicapper Dutch Destiny, though Bint Dandy and Lyfka look up against it.
