Shine Likeadiamond can usually be relied on to run her race but a string of placed efforts doesn't boost confidence. FIRST BOMBARDMENT has also had plenty of chances but his second in soft going at Musselburgh early in the year takes the eye and David O'Meara's charge should be thereabouts at the finish. Al Kirana made only a modest start over 7f at Newmarket but showed early pace and this shorter trip should suit while Consulting also showed up well in the early stages of his debut over 6f in soft ground at Haydock.
