Diamond Rain
DIAMOND RAIN won this race 12 months ago and has since been placed in Group 1s in North America so ticks all the boxes required here. Dreamasar is progressing at a rate of knots so could be the biggest threat, while Sky Safari and Botagoz also need considering.

Won this race last year and subsequently placed in Group 1s in North America final couple of outings in 2025. Respectable third of 4 in a Group 2 at York in May when yard wasn't firing on all cylinders and this looks an ideal opportunity for her to resume winning ways.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork1m 2f 56yGoodFlat3/4Del Mar1m 3fFlat3/13Woodbine1m 2fFlat2/7Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat1/6Haydock Park1m 2f 100yGoodFlat1/7- 5(1)DreamasarJ: P.

Progressive filly who has won both starts since stepping up in trip this year, including a listed race at Haydock in May. Faces another hike in grade here but won her previous all-weather outing and this company may not prove beyond her given her upward trajectory.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park1m 2f 100yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/8Salisbury1m 1f 201yGood to FirmFlat1/4Yarmouth1m 3yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/9Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat1/4Newbury1mGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat3/8- 7(4)BotagozJ: Ray DawsonT: Roger Varian1-13Age 311/211/26/1

Won first 2 starts, including when making debut on all-weather at Kempton in December, then shaped well when third of 7 in a listed race at York in May, running on late. Progress required upped in grade but she's crying out for this longer trip and looks a likely improver.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork7f 192yGoodFlat3/7Nottingham1m 75yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/12Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat1/8- 1(3)Sky SafariJ: Daniel MuscuttT: James Fanshawe111-218Age 56/16/113/2

Smart sort with 6 wins from 7 starts on speed-favouring all-weather tracks, including a Group 3 at Lingfield in February. Not seen to best effect in Group 2 on turf last time and will be suited by the switch back to today's surface, though likely to face a different test on this stiffer track.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChester1m 2f 70yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat8/9Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat1/5Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat2/10Lingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat1/10Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat1/14- 3(2)AsharibaJ: Callum RodriguezT: David Menuisier75119-2Age 516/116/114/1

Won a listed race at Saint-Cloud in October and returned after 7 months off with respectable second of 9 in a similar event at Le Lion-D'Angers 43 days ago. Stable in red-hot form but this looks a significantly stronger race than she's contested previously.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLe Lion-d'angers1m 1f 207ySoftFlat2/9Saint-cloud1m 2f 97yVery softFlat9/11Saint-cloud1m 1f 207yGood to softFlat1/11Goodwood1m 1f 197yGoodFlat1/14Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat5/11- 2(7)Alla StellaJ: Luke MorrisT: Sir Mark Prescott Bt1439/36Age 418/118/114/1

Excellent third of 6 in a listed race at Nottingham in April on return from a 19-month absence but may have bounced when only sixth of 11 at Dortmund in May. Should be suited by this step back up in trip and she won her previous all-weather outing, but this demands further progress.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDortmund1m 209yFlat6/11Nottingham1m 2f 50yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/6Curragh7fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat9/9Curragh1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/8Sandown Park7fGoodFlat4/10- 6(6)UluruJ: Marco GhianiT: David Menuisier01676-6Age 528/128/133/1

Won 1½m listed race for Joseph O'Brien at Limerick last June but has struggled since, including on both outings since joining this yard.
