DILIGENT RESDEV caught the eye back from a break at Southwell last time and could be ready to strike having now dipped below his last winning mark, with his record here also a positive. Magic Boy remains of interest and is second choice, while the unexposed Kennington took a big step back in the right direction at Goodwood.
