The previously progressive Diagnostic disappointed at Wolverhampton last week when failing to settle and her jockey bemoaning the lack of pace in the race. She may well do better today but this is much tougher and MYTHMAKER (NAP) looks a safer proposition. He was third behind Intisaab, rated 107, in a similar conditions race at Wolverhampton last time and had earlier finished ahead of Royal Birth when runner-up at Lingfield. Reckless Endeavour and Tomily have a bit to find on these terms but Donjuan Triumphant won a couple of races at Hyadock last year and has every chance on his first start since October.
