Verdict
Diamond Gesture had Auto Mac behind when third in this last year but she was a long way behind CARRIGEEN LANTANA at Towcester and is only 4lb better off. Donald McCain's mare heads the short-list in this, though Maid Of Tuscany is back in the right grade. Caraline has the beating of Jebulani on Hexham running while Sir Note won over 2m at Worcester before finding 2m4f too far next time. Wymeswold wasn't beaten far last time at Sedgefield but has two ways of running while Mad For Road looks to be in the handicapper's grip.
