Richard Fahey has a good recent record in this so Diggory Delvet is expected to go close having won on his debut at Beverley last month. Yourartisonfire had a subsequent winner behind when scoring at Haydock on his latest start while Megamunch won at Ayr on his penultimate outing and steps up in trip here. All three of the above won on soft ground, however, so a competitive contest can go to SCENTPASTPARADISE, who trotted up on a fast surface over the stiff 5f at Beverley last time and should have no problem with today's extra distance.
