In depth

Verdict

Courtledge has held his form well of late and remains fairly treated on his comfortable wins at Fakenham last term. The seven-year-old will have been freshened by a short break and should give another good account. Diamond Hall is on a long losing sequence but has dropped down to a most attractive rating and merits respect on recent placed efforts in similar company. Taakid now appears in the handicapper's grip following an easy Hexham victory in May while Taking has been out of form of late but may improve for first-time blinkers.
