It is difficult to oppose the Grade 3-placed THEFLYINGKING who may not have to run to his best on return to take this. Ehteyat is rated 121 so can give him a race, while Angelo Dundee, O’Reilly and Small Fry are others to consider. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Several of these might be capable of improvement on this faster gound and the likes of Justicialism, second over farther here last time, and Truckers Cruising, who is rated 15lb higher over fences, may be vulnerable. POWERFUL ROSIE was unfancied when shaping well on handicap debut on soft and she should enjoy this surface, while Portetta, Gforcejenny and Crypto Crash are others likely to appreciate the underfoot conditions.

Selection: Hardy Diamond

RACE VERDICT

For a horse with his recent form figures, DIGBY (nap) is actually quite a confident selection because his yard is coming back into form and this test of stamina on good ground will suit him perfectly. Several others could leave recent efforts behind on this better ground, including Tullyveery Lad and Ad Caelum, while Hardy Diamond and Attaboyarchie were second in C&D contests at the previous meeting here and the latter now has a professional rider on board.
