Fairly competitive for the few that should get into it, and we take Binanti to defy topweight and see off Sri Diamond, Analyze and Admiral Compton. The selection comes here in good form and runs off the same mark as when second here to Eccentric in a D2 handicap last time. On that occasion he has Admiral Compton three lengths adrift and is 2lb better off here, so he should have no trouble confirming those placings. He goes well here and at this trip and looks good enough to return to winning ways. Sri Diamond comes here after a long break, but showed some encouragement on this surface when tried for the only time 14 months ago. He would have a clear chance on his best form, but we don't know if he will be straight enough here and we are prepared to oppose. Of the remainder, Analyze is a dual course an distance winner and merits respect, but he may just struggle in this class, and we are happy to stivk with Binanti to produce the goods.
