Jan De Heem won one of these over course and distance 12 days ago under Rowan Scott. He's only been put up a couple of pounds and should again beat fourth Youonlyliveonce but could find DIDDY ERIC a tough nut to crack. Micky Hammond's charge is also a previous winner over track and trip and has been getting closer lately on his favoured rain-softened ground. Maybe Now Baby could finally be getting the hang of things and, along with Petergate, should make her presence felt.
