DO IT FOR THY SEN (NAP) is only 2lb higher than when completing a course and distance double in this race 12 months ago. The form of last month’s second at Chepstow looks solid enough and a repeat looks to be on the cards. Salamanca School is becoming a Plumpton specialist but holds the returning Chapati on the form book so looks the danger as Diamond Rose is on a long losing run.
