TOO MANY DIAMONDS came here for a similar event over the trip three weeks ago and was always travelling like a winner. He can follow up though Barton Rose is just 2lb higher than when landing a handicap at this level at Uttoxeter in September. Mullaghboy's two victories at Fakenham have been gained in very small fields and he ran a shocker in heavy ground at Fontwell in January but The Jugopolist was in the lead at this trip when just beaten at Uttoxeter. Ulis De Vassy has won twice around here already this year but has been looking a few pounds high since his last victory.
