      Verdict

      John Best's Diamond Twister looks to be going the right way having been placed in two of his last three starts and should appreciate the drop back to six furlongs today but he may have to settle for minor honours behind FIVE STAR JUNIOR, who gets the vote over Princess Cagliari. Richard Hannon's filly has shown ability in all three starts but does need to improve to trouble the selection. Sir Mark Prescott's Valid Point looks one of the lesser lights in the yard and is easily discounted with a bigger threat likely to come from Towy Valley, who ran much better over course and distance last time having been well beaten on her Windsor debut. A market move for Captain Flasheart would be of interest but the safest option looks to be Five Star Junior, who has shown a decent and consistent level of form and he looks to have been found a decent opportunity to open his account.
