UK raider, MASTER DIVER should take all the beating here representing trainer Sir Mark Prescott. The Mastercraftsman gelding can lnd the spoils here despite the challenges from C&D runner-up, Twenty Minutes and the John McConnell-trained, Al Batal who ran well in defeat over C&D towards the end of the year.
