Diktatorial rates as a good bet here; Bobski and Claret And Amber look the main dangers. The selection has been running over hurdles of late but he returns to the level off what looks a very fair mark and with ground conditions to suit he can go close. Bobski ran a fair race last time when he chased home Ninth House, but his overall profile suggests that he is not one to place faith in as he is pretty inconsistent. Claret And Amber was far from disgraced at Musselburgh last time when he chased home Abbodanza, and with the yard in form he has obvious claims in this grade. Kirkby's Treasure is a course and distance winner and he can prove best of the others, but Diktatorial has plenty in his favour and he stands out as a bet.
