Verdict
It is a worry that the pacy Diviner weakened quickly under a penalty at Catterick as this is a stiffer track. However, she should be able to grab the stands’ rail from stall six and none of the others with experience can match her form. MARCH FOR MEN is a rare runner here for Tom Dascombe. He changed hands for only 10,000gns earlier this year having cost €40,000 euros as a yearling but is a full brother to a 5f winner. Mr Diamond shouldn’t be short of pace, despite being a full brother to a 1m4f winner, but he was bought for only £7,000 at the end of last year.
