This could be the ideal trip for Bonnie Bea and she looks favourably treated in the weights but it is hard to have any confidence in this outsider, whilst Recalcitrant has claims on the pick of his ability but has shown little of late. Vinces has a liking for the course having secured all his previous wins here with similar sentiments applicable to Beaubrav. Aurora Sky has shown snippets of ability without putting all the components together and remains a maiden from fifteen starts but our vote goes to DIAMOND TWISTER who won here earlier in the month and has a perfect opportunity to grab another success. He is officially rated only 4lb higher after that victory but any more rain could play against him and a check on the going is essential.
