SLINGSBY is penalised for winning an amateurs race at Redcar last time. But he had gone close over 7f here before that and should make another bold bid. The inconsistent Douneedahand won at Kempton in March in between more modest efforts and Compton Prince went close at Lingfield earlier. Diamond Vine has a shout back at this venue but Bilash is proving best at the minimum trip and Under Approval has recorded both his wins so far on the Fibresand at Southwell.
