Mr Diamond won a nursery over 5f at Carlisle last time and Connor Murtagh’s allowance negates most of a 6lb rise. But DANCING RAVE beat the latter when scoring at Beverley back in July and, with improvement expected over this longer trip now handicapping, David O’Meara’s filly is just preferred. Under Curfew was also beaten by the selection at Beverley but Suppressor and Power Link are other handicap newcomers to consider with the latter sporting first-time headgear and making more appeal than Wolverhampton third Cognac Blue.
