Verdict

Amazing Blue Sky scored over track and trip last month but finished nearer last back here last time. Qibtee was also well beaten on his latest start having won at Nottingham before that while though Galuppi won over hurdles last month he has yet to score in 14 attempts on the Flat. Goldmadchen has a shout off her current mark though arrives in woeful form, as does Geeaitch, so preference is for DARK DIAMOND. Third over a mile here recently but placed off higher marks over today's longer distance on the Turf earlier in the year, Julia Feilden's charge should be in the mix once again.
