Donald McCain has been having a few winners lately and Diamonds A Dancing completed a double in July, though both victories came over a mile. Picks Pinta hasn't won for over two years and though generally consistent was beaten off a lower mark last time. Napoleon Solo ran his best race so far over this trip at Wolverhampton and has been racing over further but this can go to PUSHKIN MUSEUM. Richard Fahey's grey hasn't won since June 2014 but has steadily slipped to a winnable mark and would have finished much closer at Carlisle last time but for being impeded at a crucial stage. Slim Chance has been staying on over the minimum trip and has a course and distance victory to her credit.
