Diocles Of Rome won this last year but is making a belated seasonal debut this time. Sir Oliver won over today’s trip at Yarmouth before beaten over 6f while Out From Under scored over track and trip before returning a losing favourite at Newcastle. Lir Speciale has been in good form over 6f though has yet to race over this far and AL SHIBLI (NAP) is preferred. The latter went close at Wolverhampton despite failing to get a clear run and first-time blinkers may bring further progress.
