Verdict
Catalinas Diamond is only a pound higher than when beaten just half-a-length over C&D at the start of the month. Pat Murphy's filly has to go on the short-list in the second division of this handicap while Dickie Le Davoir was a close-up fourth here on his penultimate start and is rated 11lb lower on the all-weather than on Turf. But the two to concentrate on may be MEY BLOSSOM and Hab Reeh. We'll take the former to follow up her recent C&D win off a 4lb higher mark even though Ruth Carr's grey was only a length behind last time and could be improving.
