Verdict

EGOTISTICAL boasts a positive profile and an opening mark of 71 could well underestimate her. Diamont Katie has been at the top of her game since a breathing operation so is next best ahead of D Flawless, who won in taking style at Newcastle in March.

8	Getting better with each run and opened account at the fourth attempt in Redcar novice 33 days ago. Will go on improving and must be taken seriously off what looks a good mark. 1st Pick 8 Egotistical Jockey: Ray Dawson Trainer: Roger Varian J: Ray Dawson T: Roger Varian	100	-	-	-	34%	2/1

1	Posted personal best (after a breathing operation) when easily winning C&D handicap in April. Failed to defy a penalty at Yarmouth next time but almost certainly remains at the top of her game (hard to make ground from off the pace given the tailwind). Remains of interest off revised mark. 2nd Pick 1 Diamont Katie (Ire) Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: K. R. Burke J: Jack Nicholls T: K. R. Burke	99	-	-	-	23%	7/2

2	Quickly back to form in a first-time hood when scoring in good style at Newcastle in March. 6 lb higher in better race now but she remains unexposed as a sprinter. 3rd Pick 2 D Flawless (Ire) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Paul Midgley J: Jason Hart T: Paul Midgley	93	-	-	-	19%	9/2
Analysis Quickly back to form in a first-time hood when scoring in good style at Newcastle in March. 6 lb higher in better race now but she remains unexposed as a sprinter.
