DIAMOND RAIN may not have been out of place if going for the Oaks last month, but she has been saved for this instead following a taking Listed success at Newbury, where the runner-up has come out and franked the form since. A narrow winner on debut here over 1m, Charlie Appleby's unbeaten filly should have too much for Kalpana, who was a creditable second in Listed company at Newmarket last month and should improve for the step up in trip. You Got To Me has strong claims on her penultimate success at Lingfield, despite being outclassed in the Oaks, and she can uphold form with the reopposing Rubies Are Red (second), and Danielle (third).
