A host of these arrive on the back of placed efforts but Diamond Vine and Vale Of Clara have done better on Polytrack so far and Catalyze ended his long losing run with a win at Wolverhampton. Orwellian makes more appeal on his recent runs here and a similar comment applies to Masked Dance. The veteran DOCTOR HILARY had a few of these behind when beaten a length over track and trip last month. He gets a tentative vote to rediscover winning ways with Philip Prince's 5lb allowance in his favour today.
