In depth
Verdict
SAINT DIANA has found one too good in all three starts now but is still the one to beat rated 78 and the Haggas filly gets the vote. Welsh Lord finished fourth here on his debut but that was last year and Visor also makes a belated seasonal debut. Newcomers to note include the 500,000 euros purchase Enbihaar and the US-bred Trade Mission, who are both preferred to the selection’s stablemate Cloudlam and the four-year-old Highfaluting.
