In depth
Verdict
Mardoof has made the frame in his last two starts over timber and should pick up some prize money again. Diamond Egg represents an in-form yard and won a bumper at Huntingdon last May while Doyen For Money and Invictus De Brion may be capable of better than they’ve shown so far but the progressive KLITSCHKO need only run up to the form of his latest second at Newbury to make short work of these.
