BRAZEN DIAMOND (NAP) stepped up to 7f here last week and won an apprentice handicap in convincing fashion. Always travelling well, dropping back in trip shouldn't be a problem and she's unpenalised. Bondi Girl landed a Leicester handicap over the trip before starting favourite over 7f on a return visit but didn't last out the distance. Imperial Khan has been racing over the minimum without giving the impression that a longer trip was required while Manettino's best runs have also been over 5f. Viewfromthestars was well supported for his handicap debut at Brighton but didn't get the run of the race.
