Verdict
Canadian Diamond continues to defy the handicapper and is upped a further 4lb after landing a hat-trick with his latest course and distance success. He’s been beaten over hurdles since and is raised in class today along with Ayr Of Elegance, who bids for a treble after winning over 2m at Lingfield last time. GLAN Y GORS went close off a higher mark at Wolverhampton last year and finished closer at Chelmsford recently. He might be up to landing this with Golden Jubilee stepping up in trip and Endless Acres having his first start since October.
