Cryptonite Diamond is suggested from Tittle and Rossini Byline. It's to be hoped by supporters of the selection that the apparent improvement on her latest start was due to the fitting of a tongue tie rather than the surface at Great Leighs. The unexposed filly ran a pretty solid race there and a repeat performance may be sufficient to have a say in the outcome. Tittle had showed a similar level of promise on her penultimate start but failed to build on that in no uncertain terms at Doncaster. She has needed plenty of driving in the past though and she may fare better with Dane O'Neill taking over from Amy Scott. Cherries On Top has his first run at a realistic level and is worth noting in the market for signs of confidence but Rossini Byline is a more obvious danger with Seb Sanders engaged by a shrewd yard and with course and distance form to her name. Probably best not to get carried away but Cryptonite Diamond may be able to sparkle in the finale.
