      Verdict

      For Jim won five times last year and has a good overall strike-rate but returns from a break on a high enough mark. COSTLY DIAMOND was almost certainly flattered by his margin of victory at Sedgefield earlier this week as the favourite ran a shocker and another fancied runner unseated its rider but William Shanahan takes off 7lb again so he can defy his penalty. Yccs Portocervo has barely raised a gallop in two runs this year and Armattiekan was well behind selection last time while the trip is a concern for Getaway Luv.
