Diamond Rain holds leading form claims but has been beaten on both starts this season and, given that she is likely to be odds-on once more, there are reasons to look elsewhere. ON MESSAGE was third in a Listed race at Goodwood in May and that form has been strongly franked by the winner Inis Mor and the runner-up Earth Shot. She is a lot better than she showed on good to soft ground in the Oaks at Epsom last month. Fellow 3yo Estissa could be suited by the step up in trip.[Ben Hutton]
