Diggeratt looks like Paul Hanagan's best chance of a winner on the card but Richard Fahey's charge is up in the weights despite defeat last time making BAKONGO a better prospect. Still improving Michael Bells runner wasn't held that far when placed over course and distance last time and now 2lb better off has every chance. Richard Hughes takes the ride on Beat Up who won well on his only start here two runs back and is given a chance based on that performance. Dream Of Fortune ran well in plating company last time and if that form is to ring true he should show up in the mix but Bakongo now looks off a fair weight.
