DUTCH DIAMOND finished third at Kempton recently on her first start since October and should have come on for the outing. She's taken to add to her trainer's excellent strike rate at this track as it looks stronger form than the race over C&D last month in which three of today's opposition were involved. King's Wharf just got the better of third-placed Glennten on that occasion, but the latter is less exposed and is fancied to reverse running here, though Green Mitas has three lengths to make up if he's to figure. Benzanno is not out of this on his best form of last year and Ty Gwr is a debutant to keep an eye on.
