      Verdict

      Falesia Beach remains a maiden after nine starts but has proved herself a consistent performer this year. She's likely to drop in at some stage and takes on similarly-exposed sorts here. AMATHUS (NAP) was impressive at Brighton last week over this trip and ground, however, and can defy his penalty. The Cola Kid has done well for Alice Haynes this season and now has a first start for new connections, although he does remain unproven over this trip. Diamond Cottage has no such concerns and likes quick ground so can't be ignored receiving weight all round.
