Verdict

Barbs Pink Diamond ran well last time and she can get her head in front in this handicap, although Icannshift and Credential are rated as dangers. The selection was narrowly beaten by Hermanita at Folkestone last time and with this trip and ground clearly what she needs to be seen at her best, she should run a big race. Icannshift won well at Folkestone last time on heavy ground but he is equally at home on a faster surface and he does go well for Neil Chalmers. Credential ran well on the turf at Yarmouth last time and with this step-up in trip sure to suit he is not without hope. Treetops Hotel won well last time and he is another that will be suited by the extra distance today. He could go well at a price but Barbs Pink Diamond shaped encouragingly last time and she can land the prize.
