In depth
Verdict
SIR MOZART dotted up at Wolverhampton last week but despite facing a tougher task here, he remains on a decent mark regardless of his penalty and can follow-up. Diplomatic failed to get involved from a high draw here last time and the three-time C&D winner has fared no better in the draw today and neither has Dvinsky, who scored over track and trip in May. Leelu has claims on her best efforts and so does the returning Eager To Bow after dead-heating for first place at Lingfield when last seen in January.
