went right start, 2nd after 1f until 3f out, soon nudged along, 2nd again and edged left over 1f out, led inside final furlong, clear towards finish
reluctant to go to post, took keen hold, led, headed over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong
DIAGNOSTIC was beaten only a head at Chepstow by a horse rated 75 last month. The Haggas filly should have the edge over Perfect Sense on that form and can open her account. The latter never threatened the winner when runner-up at Yarmouth and steps up in trip while Ghaseedah never figured in a handicap last time but was beaten only a length in maiden company on her penultimate start. Subotal has shown nothing so far and is hard to fancy.
