Racing Post verdict
Third-partySergei Diaghilev heads the market on the strength of a debut success at the Curragh where he was still learning his craft, yet the manner of that victory was eye-catching enough — and the subsequent smart performances of those who finished behind him add meaningful substance to the form. Good-to-firm ground at Ascot over six furlongs should suit a son of Wootton Bassett bred to quicken, and the stable's strong record in this race lends further confidence. Green Sovereign shares top billing on the figures and Sale Shark made a striking impression on his only start, while Ruler's Control and Controlla ensure the dangers are plentiful in a deep field of 25; low confidence is warranted, but on balance **Sergei Diaghilev** gets the vote.
