Looking progressive as a three-year-old DIAMOND DUCHESS should follow up on her success at Newbury when last seen with the only doubt surrounding her chances being her fitness after a break. Starla Dancer was also a last time out winner and with the yard still firing has a chance off a revised mark. William Buick looks a strong jockey booking on Dream In Waiting but Brian Meehan's charge will need to improve on two starts so far this season. Zahoo might be another for the list after an improved run last time but Diamond Duchess looks to have strong claims.
