Diamond Reflection won a classified event at Wolverhampton last time but this is more difficult. Affluence has slipped down the weights and finished closer at Chelmsford while Sharp Operator is another to consider on a recent third at the latter track. TESORINA was only fifth over track and trip recently but not beaten far in a higher grade contest. Bill Knight’s filly may finally open her account off her current mark and gets the vote in an open contest. Lady Of Authority didn’t stay 1m4f here last month but had won at Wolverhampton before that and is not out of this either.
