West Emirates, Bourne, Diamond Twister and Dream Of Olwyn are all of interest but it may be worth taking a chance with HURLINGHAM. The selection may ideally prefer a little further than this and may not want the ground to dry out too much but he's dropped to an attractive mark and caught the eye at Thirsk last month; it will surely be just a matter of time until he's back in the winner's enclosure. Paul Mulrennan has been aboard for his last two wins so it's offputting that he rides Chantilly Pearl who is the stablemate of last year's winner Dream Of Olwyn who has live claims on that form but appears to be the stable's second string on jockey bookings. Diamond Twister and West Emirates have been running well and should be in the mix again but this trip may possibly stretch Film Festival's stamina too far. It seems unlikely that the lightly raced Bourne would have been kept in training if connections didn't feel that he could win races but we'll take a chance with Hurlingham.
