Dichoh is perfectly capable of landing a race of this nature and ran a better race when third over C&D last time. He has plenty to find with NORTHERN SPY on today's terms, however, as the latter returned to action in December with a decent second to the in-form Archie Rice at Wolverhampton. Simon Dow's charge needs only to run up to his mark to score here. Divine Rule and Querido are up against it at the weights and the latter was engaged to run at Wolverhampton yesterday.
