Ri Na Si showed his first sign of form when third in a Doncaster maiden but has been done no favours by the handicapper. Pearl Queen and Copper Trade are even less exposed and the latter clearly didn't give his true running at Lingfield last month. Grey Gazelle has gone backwards since a promising debut and has been beaten in sellers the last twice while Tammuz is flattered by recent form figures. TWO NO BIDS won a Wolverhampton maiden in March and is back over a more suitable trip today. He'd only need to reproduce his best form to land this as Absolute Diamond's win at Catterick in July is looking increasingly like a fluke.
