In depth
Verdict
The one that catches the eye here is Diamonds And Dust, with Look At The Stars, Bee Stinger, Molly Marie and Mytton's Bell possibly proving best of the rest. The selection displayed a lot of promise when finishing fourth to Camacho at Newmarket on his debut and, given that the third has won since, he looks set to go well here today. Turning to the others and Choreographic improved on his debut effort to finish third at Catterick and could improve again. Look At The Stars made late headway on his Windsor debut and it would be no surprise to see him improve too. Bee Stinger has finished second in each of his last two races and the form is solid enough, while Turn On The Style has likeable breeding and Molly Marie kept on over five furlongs at Ripon on soft last time, which, overall, equates to a mark in the mid-60s. That same comment applies to Mytton's Bell, who ran well in nursery company last time and is certainly at the right end of the weights. She can go well, and it might also pay to watch the betting with regard to the others, including Flying Ridge, who showed little on her debut but should be better than that. However, for the winner, once again we return to Diamonds And Dust.
