Verdict
Amber Island returned to winning ways in June when making all at Leicester to beat the re-opposing Ernie's Valentine. The latter hasn’t figured since but TOUGH ENOUGH has now won three of his six starts, having scored over track and trip last month, and James Tate’s colt looks worth sticking with. Indemnify won over a mile here back in May while Final Watch scored at Newmarket in July and King Cabo is mostly consistent.
