In depth
Verdict
Diamond hall returns after a long break and may be better for the run in this tightly knit handicap that is hardly going to shake the world. However, a chance could be taken on Shellin Hill finally losing the maiden tag at the 28th attempt. His last two outings have shown a little more sparkle and although he has shown a reluctance to put his head in front, he will not have many better chances. Bold Hunter is capable of troubling the leaders fro a long way but looks held on bits of his form. Weet And See gets in lightly here after an encouraging outing at Huntingdon last time and could surprise a few with his effort if he is at his best.
