This selling handicap is full of imponderables but back at the venue of his only turf success, PRIMO DILETTANTE is just the call ahead of the well-treated Fleur De Lion and Ocean Of Peace. The recorded his sole turf win over course and distance should go well on his return to the East Sussex cliff tops under the same burden he carried that day. Fleur De Lion has been in good form of late with excuses for his latest poor run. Silvestre Kirk's runner is perhaps better judged on his penultimate effort when finding just one too good at Wolverhampton off this mark and has some good course form in the book to add to his claims. Ocean Of Peace is four pounds lower in the weights than when placing at Kempton two starts ago so is considered while Stand In Flames has run well in defeat on his last two starts.
