Park Place has recorded his best efforts over further and the same comment applies to DIANORA. But the latter is favoured by today's weights and may get away with today's shorter trip on this occasion. Piccadilly Jim was beaten a couple of lengths over course and distance last month and can get involved but John Reel and Home Flyer are hard to fancy.
