ART OF DIPLOMACY easily drew clear to score at Catterick and has an upwardly-mobile profile for this stable, so he is fancied to go in again with his promising conditional negating half of the 10 lb rise handed to him. Imphal has been going the right way all season, so he's an obvious danger, and the likeable Bean In Trouble isn't easily dismissed.
