Verdict

Amber Crystal failed to cope in Class 3 company at Chester last time but won in soft ground at Warwick earlier. IVORS REBEL is another who faced a tough task at the Curragh last week in a valuable sales race. David Elsworth's colt was beaten only a couple of lengths by much higher rated rivals and gets the vote in this grade. Able Spirit and Oriental Splendour are proving less than consistent while Dolorous has disappointed on a couple of occasions now. Crikey and Just Because are getting closer and Ryan Moore partners Stinky Socks for the first time.
