In a cracking renewal, a tentative vote goes to MY BOBBY DAZZLER who was eight lengths behind Tiger Jet following wind surgery at Haydock but is much better off at the weights today and may be more effective on this quicker surface. Aramax has been getting closer and Hillview probably produced a career-best at Uttoxeter nine days ago and represents last year’s winning yard. I Spy A Diva arrives in peak form and Langdale Lane was second on his handicap debut at Ayr. Scrum Diddly is on a hat-trick but is upped in class today carrying a penalty.
