      Verdict

      Big Brown Bear has twice finished second on soft going while EMINNY had Forever A Diamond well behind when successful at Leicester last month. The latter struggled in Listed company last time but gets another chance back at this level. Chinese Knot came good at Yarmouth but just scraped home so a 5lb rise looks harsh but dual winner Band Of Joy may improve further now handicapping.
