Verdict
Not the best of betting mediums here for punters with as usual the likely to be all informative however, the principals look to be Diamond Sal, Heckley Clare Glen and True Beauty and we will side with Heckley Clare Glen. The five-year-old from the Nicky Richards won well last time out when defeating Diamond Sal and although that rival is better off at the weights here that was her first ever run and she is taken to improve again. Diamond Sal rates the main danger but she is has had plenty of chances and is more exposed than most. True Beauty is another well bred sort from the Nicky Richards yard but looks the second string on jockey bookings. River Mist was a fair second on his debut behind Reviers Moon and is sure to improve but he may do better over a longer trip. But in a hard race to call we will stick with the unbeaten Heckley Clare Glen
