Cape Melody and Diapason could get involved on the evidence of their best efforts but both are returning from a lay-off and it could pay to concentrate on more recent form. Piquante has been placed over 7f at Kempton recently and came up against a promising filly in But Beautiful last time. She can go close here but EMERALD GIRL may prove too good. Richard Fahey's filly won in a higher grade over today's trip at Carlisle back in June and last month's spin round 6f here should have set her up nicely for this.
Diapason (IRE) 25-1 (9-7) Chased leaders, lost place halfway, soon behind, eased 2f out, tailed off, last of 10, 47l behind Ashkalara (8-5) at Chepstow 1m flls hcp 0-75 (5) gs in Aug.
