FRUIT SALAD will likely prove good enough judged on her recent second at Wolverhampton. She has Shine Likeadiamond, rated 70, to beat in this but the latter has now been placed in nine of her 12 starts after a third at Lingfield and is always worth taking on. Bit Of A Lad and Champagne Duchess are likely improvers and the newcomer Fiftytintsofsilver is a half-sister to a couple of winners.
