Hamoody arrives in good form and had Diamond Charlie behind at Brighton before scoring at Windsor earlier this week. He'll likely figure again despite a penalty but Lujeanie and Noverre To Go found Aye Aye Digby too good at Lingfield last time. The latter has leading claims racing off a lower mark at a track where he's won three times before, but he could only manage third in this last year behind MON BRAV. Brian Ellison's charge is 2lb lower this time round and should have the race run to suit with the front-running Sarangoo in the field so can go in again.
