BANGALORE DIAMOND is in sparkling form and almost defied a 5lb rise for last month's victory when just touched off by Richeleu. He has a few pounds to find on official ratings but should be up to it. He's Got Rhythm is well up to winning this at his best though another furlong wouldn't go amiss, nor would it for Enigma Code, who is held by David Marnane's charge on their run over 7f a year ago. Jouster has no problems with the trip and should be in the shake-up but the former Dandy Nicholls inmate Fol Hollow hasn't run since August.
