In depth

Verdict

This looks a tight little handicap but Sandra's Diamond and the penalised Ixelles Diamond aren't really proven in this grade and Lady Horatia appears best over 6f. Little Shambles has yet to win away from Catterick and has 6lb extra but stablemate Lady Frances beat Meetings Man at Brighton last month, though finished behind Azagal at York subsequently. FIRST EXPERIENCE likes fast ground and was just beaten over this trip at Epsom in July. Her latest run was over 6f and she's worth another chance here.
