Verdict
This looks a very modest handicap and it would be no surprise to see Stratford winner Diamanpeg in the firing-line again, despite a 5lb higher mark. Dalrymple was fourth over a longer trip here nine days ago and Hector's House filled the same spot behind Tara Warrior over 2m1f at the track two weeks ago, though neither can be described as progressive. Unless there's a strong market move for one of the others, this can go to FLYING DOCTOR who was more like his old self at Cartmel last week and is well treated on his old form at present.
