Verdict

The Germany-based Diaphora landed a Listed contest at Hannover a month ago but this looks much tougher. LINCOLN ROCKS has won seven races but probably ran her best race in defeat when narrowly beaten in a Lingfield Group 3 last month. She's won on ground with plenty of give so conditions won't be a problem. Shenanigans has graduated from handicaps to finishing runner-up in Listed contests at Kempton and Goodwood, the latest on good to soft going. Wilamina returned to action with a cracking run in the Group 2 Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket and a repeat would see her go close while Anna Nerium reappeared to land a Listed handicap at Newmarket before finishing mid-division in the 1,000 Guineas behind stable companion and shock winner Billesdon Brook.
