Bull Bay's run in the first division of this handicap will be a pointer to the chances of Diamond Vine, who finished just behind him over track and trip two weeks ago. Demoiselle Bond ran a shocker over 7f here last time but has won her last two starts over this trip and can't be ignored while Welsh Inlet finally took advantage of a tumbling mark to score over an extra furlong at Kempton at the start of the month and still looks well treated. AMOSITE is still chasing a first all-weather success but she's gone close on several occasions in the past and appears to be back in form. John Jenkins' mare can pounce late to land this.
