    Verdict

    William Haggas’ Turquoise Diamond was third behind a couple of useful fillies at Doncaster last time and still has plenty of scope. Moondial won at Salisbury two runs ago and also warrants a second look but BUY THE DIP is fancied to open his account on Turf today if building a little on a recent third here. Inverinate could be a danger as he also placed here last month and has won on Polytrack.
