In depth
Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of races the market will be all important. However the principals look to be Diamond Sal, Sunnyland and Keen And Able and we will side with Diamond Sal. The mare by Bob Back has finished second twice in this sphere and a reproduction of her latest second behind Heckley Clare Glen would make her hard to beat. Sunnyland is from a yard that can ready a newcomer and this mare by Sovereign Water has definite place claims. Keen And Able has plenty of speed in her pedigree and is another to note. Polyanthus Jones is another from a top yard that could go well but in a tricky affair we are happy to side with the experienced Diamond Sal.
