FOREIGN DIPLOMAT separated a couple of subsequent winners when third at York on his racecourse debut. He gets the nod on the strength of that form ahead of Encore D'Or and Desert Force, both runners-up on their latest starts and capable of getting involved in this. River Dart finished closer at Brighton last time but a handful of newcomers make more appeal. They include Royal Silk, Takafol and Beauty Prince, purchased for 250,000gns in April, while Beautiful Ending is out of a prolific mare and is a half-sister to Group 2 winner Nayyir as well as several Listed winners.
