DIAKALI looks like a nice prospect for Gary Moore this year and the nine-year-old has made an impressive start to life over fences with wins at Fontwell and most recently Newton Abbot. Provided the 133-day absence doesn't find him out, he could be hard to beat in his belated hat-trick bid despite a step up in class. One For Billy is taken to reverse the Worcester form with Caid Du Lin from last time out when only beaten by a short margin and the son of the late Midnight Legend finds himself on 7lb better terms with his rival this time around.
