Green Beret, Cocunut Shy and Rose Diamond are the runners with the most significant experience here and Green Beret is given the nod to come out on top. Coconut Shy did all her best work at the finish on her Yarmouth debut, finishing a close second. She will have learned from that but this cheap purchase is up against some classy types here. Rose Diamond ran an eye-catching race on her debut at Headquarters, staying on to good effect to finish just over a length behind the winner. Out of Tante Rose, a prolific sprint winner, Rose Diamond is bred to be quick, and she can go well here. Green Beret hails from the powerful John Gosden camp, and she ran very well without being asked any serious questions, finishing runner-up on her bow. The winner was a well backed favourite and Green Beret is closely related to two sprint winners. Green Beret can earn her stripes and get off the mark here.
