Cherished was second over course and distance on her first run beyond 6f while Spinnaka has been placed in all seven starts so far on Turf. Connections will be hoping a visor can finally help her get her head in front but others are less exposed. Diagnostic was due to make her debut at Kempton last month but wouldn’t enter the stalls. She may be a bit temperamental so NATHEER is preferred. She was a little green on debut at Kempton but probably wouldn’t need much more to go one better in this.
