In-running (Fluorescence (GB))

“Drifted left at the off - settled towards the back going smoothly - still handy but boxed in approaching 2f out - checked briefly - moved left and pushed into command inside the final furlong - stayed on well to prevail”

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Beautiful Diamond

Beautiful Diamond heads this 14-runner field narrowly ahead of La Brodeuse and Catching The Moon on our ratings, and her form over this trip entitles her to plenty of respect in a Class 1 contest on soft ground at Ayr. La Brodeuse and Catching The Moon are the most obvious dangers alongside Heavenly Heather, who also merits consideration, but Beautiful Diamond's profile suggests she is well suited to these conditions and can assert her superiority. Beautiful Diamond is our selection.
