In depth
Verdict
Diligently Done hinted at ability on debut at Leicester and her experience may give her the edge over stable companion Loves Me Likearock. DAIQUIRI FRANCAIS has obvious claims having benefited from her first run to beat the odds-on Rock Melody here three weeks ago with a subsequent winner in third. She can give the weight away to Pulcheria, though the Godolphin filly has been running green and might benefit from a drop in trip.
