Diavolo won at Kempton before failing to land the odds at Newcastle last month. Firmament has been thereabouts in claimers on the all-weather but Wizard D'Amour is preferred on recent placed efforts in handicaps. MYKONOS ST JOHN (NAP) wasn’t disgraced in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton last time and, with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back in this lower grade, Scott Dixon’s charge should go close. Challet won off a similar mark at Yarmouth in September and makes most appeal of those returning to action ahead of Ascot Adventure, Zim Baby and Shark Two One.
