Diamond Bay went close back on the all-weather at Kempton while Good Soul is another to consider having placed here on last month’s belated reappearance behind runner-up Blame It On Sally and may well reverse running. But 1m6f winner COUNTRY PYLE is expected to improve further for this extra test of stamina and Frankie’s presence in the saddle further boosts confidence. Reverend Hubert has struggled landing a double back in April and Zain Nights is upped in trip.
