Verdict

Kilbrew Boy has only been raised 4lb for winning at Wincanton and has decent claims again if handling this more testing surface. But DIAMOND BRIG had more in hand than the official winning margin suggested over track and trip last month and is taken to complete the double. Duhallow Lad was more like his old self at Bangor and is another to consider but Destin D'Ajonc is proving hard to place. Truckers Highway looks the pick of the remainder.
