        Verdict

        Diamond Key is in a rich vein of form and can complete a hat-trick here with Evita and danger and both Right Option and Kindlelight Blue others considered. The selection has gone up a stone for wins here over 1m 6f and also over two miles at Lingfield, and the drop back to this trip should not be a problem. He certainly looked to have more to come last time, and though this won't be easy he can just edge it. Right Option is another in good heart but is up 2lb for a Newcastle defeat last time but he will do well to win at these weights and Evita may be a better proposition. The filly improved nicely for the step up to this trip last time and now Luca Cumani has a handle on her she may well be able to defy a 5lb rise for not winning, so she can go close. Kindlelight Blue looks best of the remainder if handling the track better than on his only previous try, but Diamond Key is red hot at present and can stay warm for long enough to complete the hat-trick.
