12/1

Soundly beaten in a pair of bumpers but seemed to run to a fair level when fifth of 10 in maiden (50/1) at this C&D on Flat debut 27 days ago. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

Dancingondiamonds (1/2), Soaring Sun (9/4), Kidam Roque (12/1), Battling Siki (20/1), Tyraxes (25/1), Kings Gesture (25/1), Jet Renegade (33/1), Miners Cabin (33/1), Crab Road (200/1)

An ordinary-looking race of its type with the vote going to DANCINGONDIAMONDS, who seems sure to build on his initial experience now stepping up to a trip more in keeping with his pedigree. Soaring Sun is no longer progressing but is an obvious threat back in maiden company nonetheless
