Verdict

Diamond Rock beat Alpine Secret and Deise Vu at Bangor last month but the latter pair are both 6lb better off and there might be much between the trio now. Tom George and Adrian Heskin are a combination to be feared in chases here but Minella For Me will need to be better than he was at Uttoxeter. Walden Prince overcame trouble in-running to finish third at Ludlow last month but hasn’t won in more than two years. THANKYOU VERY MUCH was only collared close home last time at Musselburgh. He’s been left on the same mark and Brian Hughes keeps the partnership intact so he can land this for the second year running.
