Verdict

Diamonds And Dust, Casablanca Mix and Mumbling are the three to look at here with Diamonds And Dust taken to come out on top. Casablanca Mix is trying a new trip here and it is a venture into the unknown but he did run up a sequence of wins in similar claimers at this stage last year. Mumbling is lightly raced and ran well to be placed in a handicap last time. On that evidence he can go well in this contest. Diamonds and Dust is not the most consistent type but has won twice recently. He won a claimer here last time, scoring in a decisive manner, and that was an improvement on his previous three performances. A reproduction of that run can see Diamonds and Dust land this.
