        Verdict

        DIATOMIC has done his winning over 6f so far, including his recent success here. But it could still pay to stick with Tom Dascombe's charge dropping down a grade for this. Kicking The Can went close over a mile here last time and can figure while The Happy Hammer beat subsequent winner Misu Pete, who runs in the previous race, at Chelmsford on his penultimate start. Moonbi Creek has been thereabouts over track and trip of late but remains 9lb higher than his win here in October.
