Verdict

It’s almost four years since Diamond Rose won a race and Say Nothing is 1-20 and hard to catch right. It took ASTROMAN (NAP) 17 attempts to win a hurdle race but he completed a double at Fontwell seven days later and it would be no surprise if he came out on top again here. Baby Sham beat Scudamore and Lighthouse Mill at Fakenham two runs ago and Betty's Belle still has a bit of scope in handicaps.
