Verdict
Well beaten in a handicap last time, DIMINUTIVE won a seller at Leicester before that. Collateral form gives her the beating of Shamrock Sheila, who won a plating race at Ripon last week, and Grace Harris' filly can go in again back at this level. The remainder are harder to fancy with Itsindebag perhaps coming out best of them and Paris Carver a newcomer to note.
