25/1
Won 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/1) 13 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and though not getting any younger, he's proving consistent and should be on the premises.

Forecasts

A Sure Welcome (2/1), Yimou (7/2), Benefit Street (5/1), Spoof (6/1), Free Love (15/2), Diligent Lady (8/1), Thegreatestshowman (12/1), Centurion Song (12/1), Shamshon (25/1)

Verdict

The vote in this competitive contest goes to DILIGENT LADY, who hasn't fired on all cylinders in 3 starts since scoring on the all-weather in February, but has edged back down the weights and has posted her best turf efforts over this C&D. A Sure Welcome is nothing if not consistent and is feared on the back of a solid effort here last week, while Spoof and Benefit Street also merit respect.

  1. DILIGENT LADY
  2. A SURE WELCOME
  3. SPOOF
