In depth
Verdict
The ground will hold no fears for Chief Cashier, who is taken to land his first success, since this time last year. Night Diamond, from the same family as the speedy Lochsong, clearly lacks her ability and there must be a doubt about him lasting this trip. Tarawan, comes here in good form and will be hard to keep out of the frame as will Minihaha, who will be better for her run at Goodwood.
