Binanti has real lust for life just now and is fancied to maintain his strike rate by brushing aside top weight in the finale. Mutanaseb is unexposed and, along with Diamond Diva and Turnkey, makes up the shortlist. The last named has started to fire again of late and looks worth another crack at this trip. His yard have a good record at the Glorious meeting and a betting move would be dangerous to ignore. Diamond Diva is at the right end of the weights and, as she is in such obvious good heart and is versatile regarding the ground, the Dansili filly can go well at a fair price. Mutanaseb is similarly on the upgrade and, as he also gets the weight for age allowance, he looks well treated for this step up grade. Richard Hills gets on well with the son of Mr Greenley and, having helped the colt make a winning start to his handicap career at Sandown last month, his mount can be expected to make another bold effort today. However, Binanti has been in irresistible form this terms and, as he is really thriving on being kept busy, the seven-year-old looks the logical option to teach his younger rivals how to go through with their efforts.
