DIAMAND DE VINDECY posted a personal best on the Flat when he won over 2m2f at Pontefract on his penultimate start. Given he wasn't beaten far when attempting to make all off this mark at Ripon most recently, the Robert Bevis-trained six-year-old is well worth another chance. The Craftymaster is dangerous to underestimate, while The Crafty Mole is respected back up in distance now he has a recent start under his belt. |
The progressive Toby Tops is respected on his easy Ascot win but he was beaten from an early stage earlier this week and would need to bounce back if turne out quickly. As such it may be worth siding with The Crafty Mole who enjoyed a productive summer last year and looked in need of his reappearance as most from his yard have. The fast ground will be in his favour and he can account for in form Diamand De Vindecy who has seen the form of his latest run boosted in a better race at Chester. |
