Table Manners is penalised for winning over a mile here just three days ago. Wimboldsley has been thereabouts off similar marks of late but most of these have slid down the weights this year and are looking to take advantage. That list includes Mr Potter, a recent runner-up here, and course and distance third FIRE DIAMOND. The latter began handicapping off an 8lb higher mark in June and Tom Dascombe’s charge looks up to landing this. Mops Angel, Little Indian and Diamond Avalanche could bounce back at any time off their current marks.
