DIAMOND BLUE has the inside berth and Richard Whitaker's lightly-raced filly made a promising comeback at Catterick. She'll be spot-on for this and gets the vote with course specialst Caranbola unlikely to take her chance. We'll Deal Again could hardly have won more easily on his final start at Leicester in August though he's been hit with a massive 10lb rise. Mercers Row has a C&D victory to his credit and he's enjoyed the soft conditions lately so should be in the shake-up.
