Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Diamond White
Three runners share the top rating in this competitive Class 5 chase over an extended trip at Worcester, making this a genuinely difficult puzzle to unpick. Diamond White holds that joint-highest rating alongside The Secret Pearl and Mya Du Clos, while La Lolita is only a pound adrift and cannot be dismissed lightly in a field of thirteen on good ground. The case for Diamond White rests on matching the best in the race on rated form, and over twenty furlongs there is every reason to hope that stamina will play to her strengths, though the presence of multiple equally-rated rivals means confidence is modest. Diamond White is our selection.
