THE HAGUE's recent form is solid and he is preferred to Diamond Twister. The visor that was on at Brighton when second to Librettista remains on and he has held his form well since winning at Brighton in April. He holds the re-opposing Blue Tango on that run and although the latter has won since, David Evans' gelding is fancied to beat him again. Potentiale is a course and distance winner so despite a poor run last time is entitled to respect off this enticing mark of 72. Marsh Warbler drops in grade as he moves up in trip, but he has more stamina concerns than the Lingfield winner Diamond Twister who found the ground too soft when held a week ago.
