Verdict

Toussarok was consistent on the all-weather over the winter but has had a break. Diamondonthehill won at Redcar in April, however, and makes his handicap debut and he is preferred to Apres Dark, who showed signs of temperament at Newmarket. KINGMANIA only had to be pushed out to make a winning reappearance at Leicester and she is a filly on the up so a hat-trick looks on the cards with Twilight Song very disappointing at Windsor following a third at Pontefract.
