Verdict

Diamond Josh can take this at the expense of Tomthevic and Seven No Trumps. The selection has already won over course and distance this season and he won at Ripon too. He has since run well on both occasions most latterly at Lingfield when finishing third to Banjo Bay. Back in claiming company here he has to go close once more. Tomthevic has run well around here in the past. He possesses plenty of early speed and usually breaks well but then lacks finishing speed. His last performance when finishing fifth of eight at Carlisle was not great but this track will suit so he is worth noting as is stable mate Seven No Trumps who again has not won since last June but back in this company holds every chance. But for the winner we return to Diamond Josh.
