Much improved when scoring at Kempton (8f) in November. Below that level over same C&D since but remains low mileage and this longer trip could suit.

Forecasts

For Richard (7/2), Diamond Jill (4/1), Vocatus (11/2), Let Her Loose (8/1), Dark Esteem (8/1), The Bay Warrior (9/1), Kentucky Kingdom (10/1), He's Our Star (14/1), Blue Artemis (16/1), Rushmore (18/1)

This can go to DIAMOND JILL, who hasn't been harshly treated for her C&D victory. Blue Artemis and Vocatus look the likeliest dangers.
