Verdict
Diatomic might be improving but it would be no surprise if Proud Of You proved the pick of the three-year-olds as he caught the eye at Thirsk last month and Graham Lee keeps the partnership intact. Sammy-Jo Bell is good value for her claim and her mount Royal Duchess easily holds Tanawar on her recent course and distance win. She also beat UNCLE BRIT over track and trip in October but last week's Carlisle winner enjoys an 8lb turnaround in the weights for three-quarters-of-a-length and should have the best of the argument today.
