Verdict

AMBER HAMUR has made a good start for her new yard and could win again in what looks a thin race. The well-handicapped Dacres Cross, along with Sailor's Return, are feared most.

6	Previously with George Boughey and made a fine start for this yard when a close second at Beverley in July before going one better at Hamilton 8 days later, albeit having the run of the race and probably fortunate. Still unexposed over this trip however and could defy a 3 lb rise. 1st Pick 6 Amber Hamur (Ire) Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Connor Beasley T: Edward Bethell	94	-	-	-	34%

1	A fair 6f juvenile winner who stepped up markedly on his reappearance when fourth in 20-runner York handicap in May. Was at much shorter odds with his sights lowered but failed to improve when fifth at Catterick (7f, firm) since. Steps up to 1m and is on a handy mark if bouncing back and staying. 2nd Pick 1 Dacres Cross (Ire) Jockey: Shane Gray Trainer: Kevin Ryan J: Shane Gray T: Kevin Ryan	94	-	-	-	19%	Scratched

3	Showed fair form without winning in France and shaped quite well on her first 2 starts in Britain. May have found the race coming too soon when failing to beat a rival at Carlisle (7f, firm, 12/1) 25 days ago and is down in class here after some help from the handicapper. 3rd Pick 3 Sailor's Return Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: David O'meara J: Daniel Tudhope T: David O'meara	100	-	-	-	23%
