Last year's runner-up BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND is taken to go one better on the back of a dominant display at Ayr 15 days ago. That was just her second start of the season, so she arrives here fresher than most and her versatility ground-wise means that she won't be inconvenienced by whatever the weather has in store. Shagraan, another consistent type who goes on most ground-types, looks rock-solid and he is feared most ahead of upwardly mobile 3-y-o Candy.
