He was not beaten at all far behind Little Boy Blue over 5f when beaten just over 1½l to come home third on his debut at 2-1 two weeks ago; entitled to have come on for that run.

Verdict
Zalatoris certainly isn't out of it while Charming Cheetah rates a big danger. But GREEN DIAMOND is strongly fancied to prevail. Off the back of a sequence of wins she is on song.
