Verdict
TRICK OR TWO looks to have a bit more up his sleeve and can gain a second verdict over La Capriosa but he may have something to fear from Diamond Surprise. Outside those three suggestions, it may pay to have a look at My Sweet Georgia who appears in headgear for the first time at a track where her rookie trainer has a forty per cent strike rate but she has failed to build on a promising start to her career. La Capriosa struggled to confirm the form with Halaak when dropped back to five but she comes here in good heart and should give a good account. She was three and a half lengths adrift of the selection in December when in receipt of 10lbs so clearly has her work cut out despite being poorly drawn that day and arguably being in better form now. Diamond Surprise is unexposed and was finishing to good effect over course and distance just after Christmas and rates a threat to all but Trick Or Two is fancied to give the weight away. After beating La Capriosa he tried his luck at Lingfield but lacked the pace to muster a challenge from off the pace. The return to this venue will suit him and he could prove to be even more effective at this trip than the minimum and Trick Or Two is fancied to come up trumps.
