Ilissos ran a shocker when trying to make all at Lingfield last time, while Brilliant Barca was equally disappointing on his recent handicap debut after scoring at Kempton in March. Echos Of Motivator hasn't improved as expected for the step up to a longer trip and PRETTY DIAMOND makes more appeal. After three outings at around a mile last year, Mark Johnston's filly got off the mark over 1m4f at Beverley recently and a 3lb higher mark doesn't look enough to prevent her following up. September Draw's stamina will be tested here and Dubai Glory has a bit to find with a couple of today's rivals.
