        Verdict

        Diamond Racing Ltd will be keen to get an immediate return on the ¿20,000 they invested in Knock Bridge after she finished second in a decent seller at Musselburgh last month. But they may have to wait for another day with the daughter of Rossini as the well-bred Phi Phi really catches the eye here. Marching Song and Campeon, who make the most appeal out of the rest with experience, are others that have place claims and are entitled to go close in this company. However, Phi Phi - a half-sister to Superstar Leo - does make plenty of appeal on pedigree and is one the first one to note in the betting. The William Haggas team scored with their only previous juvenile runner this season and it can safely be assumed that the Newmarket handler is being selective in finding openings for his charges. He will also be eager to keep on the right side of his father-in-law, who bred Phi Phi, and it may be prudent to take a chance that she knows what will be required of her at the first time of asking. The daughter of Fasiliev lacks any fancy entries but should be forward enough to cope with the task in hand tonight. Mark Wallace has a good handle on Knock Bridge so support for Campeon will be provide a good indicator for anyone looking to play with a value selection of the forecast.
