Diamond King comes here having failed to deliver in a big Cheltenham handicap last time out. His trainer remains in good form and, given he was pulled up there, he can be afforded a decent claim of compensation. The race may revolve around GREAT FIELD, a frontrunner of some potential. He may have to survive an odd scare over the fences, but he looks a talented recruit to this sphere and with just five runs behind him, is open to further improvement. His biggest danger could well be himself however. Full Cry can have a say back down in trip while Stone Hard shouldn't be hardly judged on last month's Navan effort behind a tearaway winner over a trip that might well have been too far in any case.
