      Verdict

      Charles Fosterkane comes out best at the weights but arrives badly out of sorts and, though Barista is in much better form, he's proved best over 7f so far. In contrast, SKY DIAMOND won twice over today's trip last month, both here and at Kempton, and James Given's charge is taken to overcome today's unfavourable terms and go in again as Hugely Exciting finished just ahead of Dark Isle when fifth at Wolverhampton last time and both need to improve to figure, while Jackie Love has plenty to find with the selection and is hard to fancy.
