Shine Likeadiamond has to be taken on having finished second on her last six starts now while Black Bess was something of a disappointment at Kempton having run well at Windsor earlier. Perfect Quest and Kath's Legacy finished closer on their latest outings but MANIPURA caught the eye staying on well for fourth over 5f at Wolverhampton last time when not far behind Shine Likeadiamond. She will appreciate the longer trip and Derek Shaw's filly gets the nod. Flowing Clarets and Shypen make most appeal of the newcomers.
