Upwardly mobile Twomey happy with rain for Sonaiyla

reports her to be in tip-top shape for her big showdown.

Twomey said: “It will require a career-best to win, but she’s in the form of her life. All ground comes alike to her and I actually think all this rain won’t inconvenience her at all. She’s drawn in four, in between Dream Of Dreams and Glen Shiel, so I’m happy about that.”

The last Irish-trained winner of the Diamond Jubilee was the Aidan O’Brien-trained Merchant Navy in 2018, while Slade Power did the business for Eddie Lynam and Wayne Lordan in 2014. Sonaiyla is the sole Irish representative on this occasion.
