ESYTOPOLISHADIMOND had a bit in hand when scoring from House Limit a couple of weeks ago and is handed the vote, despite a 7lb rise, as he's really found his form. Furacano, who was having just her sixth start, showed good speed to finish a close fifth and is entitled to get closer. Gold Falcon and Maundy Money both ran well behind Stoichkov earlier this month and have to be considered despite their big weights along with Lord Kenmare, who didn't get the clearest of runs in that latter race.
