In depth
Verdict
Bond Diamond has been in irresistible form of late and completed a hat-trick in a large field at Pontefract last time. The runner-up gave the form a boost with another solid display at Doncaster yesterday but a 10lb hike may prevent the four-timer. Warden Warren is thrown in on his old form after a string of disappointing efforts but the application of a first-time visor brought a degree of improvement and is one to consider but Takaroa had no excuses when flopping on his return at Epsom. Guilsborough is not as effective on turf as he is on the all-weather but Lara Falana found the trip too far last time when fancied and has definite claims off her current mark.
