Hucking Hill - a dual Kempton winner already - can add credence to the old cliche about top weights in nurseries, while Galaxy Of Stars and Darling Belinda are others that can go close at fair odds. Diminuto is another that makes some appeal from the foot of the handicap, as she is back on a winning mark and looks worthy of another try on this surface. A market move for her would be interesting. Darling Belinda registered her best performance so far when she finished third at Wolverhampton nine days ago. The step up in trip should not be too much of a problem for the daughter of Silver Wizard and she can give her supporters plenty to shout about; if she continues to thrive. Galaxy Of Stars had a couple of lengths to spare over Darling Belinda last time out and, despite a 6lb higher mark, should be capable of upholding the form. The fitting of a visor seemed to hit the spot on that occasion and, with this trip virtually sure to suit, a bold attempt appears to be assured. However, Hucking Hill has already fared well against stiffer opposition and, as he comes here with his confidence on a high, the John Best-trained gelding is strongly fancied to have enough in reserve today. Especially as he also acts so well at this course.
