AMOUR FOU won this last year under Samantha Bell and is only 1lb higher. She hasn't had a hard season and is handed the vote to complete the double despite a big weight. Speed Dream scored on soft ground at Bellewstown but was nowhere near that form when tackling an extra furlong on testing ground at Listowel last time while the lightly-raced Guess Who is taking a massive drop in trip having mainly raced at a mile and beyond. Cookie Crumbles has yet to win and is another who generally races over much further but La Canaada ran her best race to date over the C&D in April and should be approaching her peak after just two subsequent starts.
