Diviner has only won over 5f so far but he did appear to handle the step up to 7f at Yarmouth earlier this month. Socru hasn’t been disgraced in any of his three runs on Turf but Alban's Dream has gone backwards since a promising debut. Thebah and Cuban Sun are both making their handicaps debuts so have scope but DON LOGAN (NAP) has improved with every run and he was second over 6f last time at Pontefract so should stay the extra furlong here.
