In depth

Verdict

Diamond Vine was ahead of Fossa at Lingfield last month when winning on Turf for the first time since 2010. Spirit Of Rosanna has been placed the last twice on slower ground while Soaring Spirits finished runner-up over 7f here recently and can race off the same mark. Essaka and Commanche are both course and distance winners and have slipped down the weights but the less-exposed CUBAN QUEEN is preferred. She won at Wolverhampton in April and there should be more to come from her having only her fourth start on Turf.
