Shine Likeadiamond sets the standard with a mark of 70 but has had plenty of chances and OLYMPIC RUNNER is preferred. The latter disappointed when failing to land the odds last time but a repeat of her earlier third at Haydock would suffice in this company. Winter Hey Lane also ran better on her debut than she did at Newcastle last time but Alyaa can figure back in this grade after a modest effort in a Listed contest at Newmarket last month.
