Verdict

DIAMONDS'N'RUBIES (8) jumped well from the good draw last start and settled on the pace before fading to finish out of the money, but not too far away over 7f at Ascot. She failed to handle the quick backup that day, and with 5 weeks between runs now, she is the one to beat, especially at this easier level. BLOOD SAINT (5) broke through for his overdue maiden win last start over 7f here, scoring by 4 lengths with Natika Riordan in the saddle, who only claims 4lbs this time, but the pair have a great chance to go back-to-back. LEONARDO DA GREY (3) ran a solid third over 6f at Ascot last time and should appreciate being back on his home track with an extra furlong to travel. He is honest and can figure in the top 3 again. CANTILEVER (2) improved sharply to score by nearly a length over 7f at this track 12 days ago. He carries more weight, but can repeat the dose. DRAG MACHINE (6) can mix his form, and won his last start at York nearly 7 weeks ago. Check the market moves.
