      Verdict

      Castle Talbot won at Brighton in June but has been beaten three times since off higher marks. DIAMONDS A DANCING is developing a real love affair with this track. He's unbeaten in two starts over course and distance and can complete the hat-trick despite a further 4lb rise in the weights. Stanlow can't get much lower in the weights and makes more appeal than the other course and distance winner in the line-up, Prim And Proper.
