        Verdict

        A few of these have demonstrated promise in their races to date, and LA DIVA ran an eye-catching race on debut over C&D last time out and seems the sort to improve on her second run having gone down to an impressive winner (place in Group company since) on that occasion. Highlight Reel 's only poor performance to date came in a much higher level than this at Royal Ascot and is feared most, ahead of narrow Sandown maiden winner Finsbury Park , who also receives plenty of class relief after running in a Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood last time.
