Verdict

There was definite promise to glean from DIAMOND WHITE's debut third in a Catterick bumper 4 weeks back, not least given she displayed clear signs of inexperience on that occasion and, appealing as a likely improver, she may be up to taking full advantage of the weight she receives from most of her rivals and making it second time lucky. Penalised pair Ronnie Russet and Kilaro are other likely protagonists, whilst Cowboy Casanova and Valtteri Its James are Rules newcomers to note.
