In depth
Verdict
A winner over 6f, Diamond Lady has something to prove over today's trip but Fleckerl scored over course and distance in January off a similar mark. Captain Revelation never threatened the winner on either occasion despite finishing runner-up at Southwell the last twice while Johnny B Goode ended last year with placed efforts in plating races. QUEEN AGGIE won at Wolverhampton and went close again in a higher grade here last week behind Saucy Minx. She should make a bold bid in this company and gets the nod.
