Verdict
The filly Diamond Pursuit has to give weight to the colts after getting off the mark in an ordinary contest at Brighton and that may be beyond her. Last Page was thoroughly uncooperative at Windsor last time and is best watched here but QAARAAT appears to be on an upward curve and, as Dane O’Neill has chosen him ahead of the Exceed And Excel colt Bin Daahir, he gets the nod unless there is any market support for Sunbreak or Prince of The Dark.
