Headlong has now had 16 starts here and in the UK but, though rarely beaten far, just stays on at one pace. A longer trip may suit as it may for Mammas Gift, who was having her first start since 2013 when a good fourth behind Thirteen Diamonds here last month. Meadowlands was well behind that night but produced a better effort when sent over two miles last time so she's another likely to be suited by further. Saga Diamond has been a short-priced beaten favourite on her last two starts over a mile. She ran well enough over this trip earlier but may have to settle for a place again as TENNESSEE WALTZ (NAP) really caught the eye when behind her here last time. Making her racecourse debut for a rookie trainer, she was noted staying on nicely and should have come on enough to reverse the form and take this.
