Verdict

Diamondsinthesky was beaten only a short-head here on Thursday, with Tolly McGuiness behind, and Divertimenti went close over track and trip on Friday. Both have obvious claims in this but the vote goes to SAVED MY BACON. She has less than a length to make-up with the winner Very First Blade on recent running here and given she has plenty of scope for improvement, Chris Dwyer's filly is fancied to do just that. Both Imaginary Diva and Steel City Boy have something to find with the selection on latest running.
