Diamond Cottage looked to be in the handicapper’s grip last time at Brighton. Conditions are unlikely to be as testing as when Beau Jardine bolted up here two weeks ago but Shariq Mohd can claim his full 7lb today so the bottom weight if effectively only 4lb higher. Brazen Idol will be all the better for his fourth at Doncaster and De Bruyne also enters calculations while Fiscal Policy has done little wrong since winning at Chelmsford in May. GANNON GLORY blew the start having a first run for Archie Watson at Chepstow. Kieran Shoemark takes over the reins from an apprentice today and he is capable of better.
