In depth

Verdict

Diamond Set is having a first run since August last year but showed promise in his first season. Right Direction followed up a debut third at Thirsk with a second to Betty F over course and distance earlier this month. It would be no surprise if the Godolphin filly went one better this evening but BAWAASIL took a big step forward at Newmarket last month and any further progress would make him tough to beat. Bhodi has had just the one outing so has scope with her dam having won over further.
