        Verdict

        Conor Dore wastes no time bringing out Lastkingofscotland after his success at Wolverhampton on Monday but that was over 7f and he's better over that trip. Stablemate Efistorm is more of a sprinting type and, though just headed by Speak The Truth here last week, is in very good form and looks sure to be involved. Fantasy Fighter looks held but The Strig found 7f too far here last time and is better judged on his earlier victory over the minimum trip at Kempton. DIAMOND VINE has been very busy since last summer and has dropped in the weights after a succession of defeats. He's now on a winning mark, however, and can gain his first success on an artificial surface.
