Tempting to row in again with Too Many Diamonds after his rapid-fire four-timer upon joining the Skelton team. He has risen 31lb for those four victories and it's impossible to know how much more there is to come now he's had a break but he is unlikely to offer too much in the way of value and SAILORS WARN is a viable alternative after a stylish Stratford success on just his second start for Ian Williams. He was beaten in a couple of sellers back in the spring so we are reliant upon the Williams team having revivified the Redback gelding but a repeat of that recent win will see him go well for sure. Caberbet D'alene is weighted to get far closer to Too Many Diamonds compared to their recent clash and merits respect along with Utility, going well when coming to grief the last day.
