Bangor winner Samtu has his ground again but is upped in grade off a 6lb higher mark. Fort Carson is another attempting to win at this level for the first time but Plumpton maiden winner Zante should be capable of stepping up having had just the three starts. Taweyla could easily bounce back from a fall at Haydock and Honey Pound had every chance when falling at Taunton. Rock N Rhythm is another with claims but Heath Hunter struggles to get his head in front. CANADIAN DIAMOND holds no secrets from the handicapper but Mikey Hamill will again take off 7lb and switching back to a quicker surface won’t be a problem - he looks sure to run his race again.
