This isn't much tougher than the claimer Mr David won here earlier in the month and he has a chance along with Light Burst. Free Spin went close over 6f last time and stays this longer trip but the vote goes to DIAMOND BELLE. She hasn't had much racing this year and may well be open to further progress having gone very close at Leicester on her latest start. Kung Hei Fat Choy is back on a winning mark and is preferred to recent Southwell winner Caldercruix.
