Verdict
Everylasting won at Wetherby in May and looked to be on the way back at Kelso last month. But SHINE A DIAMOND can win this for the second year running racing off a 4lb lower mark. Lucinda Russell's grey goes well here and will have found the ground too quick at Perth last month. Roc De Prince is proving hard to place and none of the others make much appeal. Red Whisper may be the best of them.
