AMBER ISLAND (NAP) was doing her best work in the closing stages over 7f at Newmarket on her debut. A late surge saw Charlie Appleby’s filly steal third place from the re-opposing Festive Star and she can confirm running over this extra furlong. The latter will likely make a race of it again while Godolphin also run the newcomer Dubai Life, a half-sister to a winner in North America and worth noting along with Pocket Square. Oh Mary Oh Mary showed some ability at Catterick when placed on her debut but this is tougher.
