Verdict
Clubland's winning run came to end at Southwell last time and he's yet to win on Turf in 12 attempts. Speedyfix is holding his form well despite looking a shade high in the handicap now after last month's win at Lingfield and the inconsistent Roy's Legacy has a shout if putting in one of his better efforts. Irish Girls Spirit should be winning again this year though she finished well off the pace on her comeback while Errigal Lad and Gowanharry have both slipped back down to winning marks. A multiple winner on Turf, DIVERTIMENTI arrives on the back of a double on the all-weather and he gets the vote in this with a 5lb claimer negating his latest rise in the weights.
