Plenty with claims in this but Boogangoo is penalised for scoring over track and trip recently when DIAMOND BLUE was back in third. The latter is better off on today's terms and Richard Fahey's mare can turn the tables and land this. Rouge Nuage went close at Beverley in September but remains 7lb higher than his earlier win at Yarmouth while Mount Hollow failed to cope with a 3lb rise for winning over 6f here when well beaten on his latest start. Rich Again scored here in October and has been thereabouts in a couple of subsequent starts.
