      Verdict

      An interesting race to round off the card with and there seems to be no reason to expect that the progressive Diosypros Blue will not cope with his initial rating of 83 and Jamie Osborne's charge is fancied to make a bold bid to land the three-timer here. Varnay and Spring Dancer are going the right way and will give the selection plenty to think about - although a move for Nick's Grey could also prove to be significant. However, Diosypros Blue has shown good pace in each of his four previous starts and was good value for his length and a quarter defeat of the 86-rated Big Bradford at Newmarket four days ago. This stiff track will also suit his style of running and the son of Bluebird can enhance the theory of supporting the top weight in nurseries if his latest exertions have not taken too much out of him.
