True Spirit was only beaten a nose at Lingfield earlier and would go close with a similar effort and Torres Del Paine won over 6f here back in February. Pelagian scored at Brighton last month but is 4lb higher now while DIAMONDS A DANCING carries a penalty for last week's win over track and trip. But this looks easier and Brian Gubby's charge gets the nod to go in again with Stapleford Lad and Divine Rule looking best of the rest.
