Verdict

Diegos Way is of obvious interest given it’s plausible that the handicapper’s decision to raise him 8lb for a win at Bangor is not enough to prevent a follow up success but PRINCE DUNDEE (NAP) has been a regular visitor to Hexham, and with the stable in form, the nine-year-old can give a good account of himself under top-weight. Dee Star has been a standing dish around Cartmel while Storm Lorenzo is back in the cheekpieces he wore when successful here in September.
