DVINSKY won over 7f here before finding only Yankee Storm too good over C&D last time. A similar effort should be good enough to take this and he can confirm running with third-placed Co Dependent. The latter is slightly better off at the weights but his tendency to start slowly doesn't help his cause, while Speak The Truth won a lower grade race at Lingfield a fortnight ago but should take care of Chantilly Jewel once again. Doc Hay is unexposed and could prove best of the rest on his return to action.
