Verdict

White Diamond drops back in trip after some decent efforts over 1m2f, but she still looks a shade high in the weights and CONO ZUR makes more appeal. Ruth Carr's charge looks like getting fast ground again for the first time since scoring at Beverley in May and should have no trouble assuming his preferred racing position at the head of affairs. He went close here last time when Ajdaad ran a shocker but the latter has since showed a bit more at Newmarket, while Elijah Pepper and Fibs And Flannel have something to find with the selection on earlier form though the latter takes a further drop in the handicap.
