BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND has an excellent record fresh so she's taken to repeat last year's dominant win following a similar lay-off. Heavenly Heather and Luna A Inbhir Nis are feared most back down in class.

Winner of 3 listed races already at this track, including this last year, and she produced a career best with a smart third in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in May. Disappointed back here following month but she seems best fresh. Can bounce back with a bang.

Had plenty to find but acquitted herself very well at the highest level on 2 of her last 3 starts (excuses at this level in between) so looks a strong player if able to reproduce that form down in class.

Verdict
Most progressive at 3 yrs, winning 5 handicaps, and has upped her game further in defeat this season, her latest second in a Group 3 at Sandown a career best. Firmly in the mix with a repeat.

Has found some improvement of late, nicely on top when winning at Pontefract before backing that up with a close fourth off 5 lb higher at Ascot. Well worth another shot at this level.

Won novices at Beverley (soft) and Pontefract on first 2 starts 7 months apart. Further progress when placed in listed events at Haydock and Sandown but this demands more back from a break.

Successful twice here and looked better than ever when a 3-length winner at Catterick last month off mark of 83. Probably flying too high at this level, though.
