DIAMOND PENNY has yet to take advantage of his slide down the ratings. But today's combination of a drop in class, step up in trip and first-time blinkers may well see him back to winning ways. Better is also expected from Petaluma on only her third start of the year while Honourable Knight went close over today's trip on the Polytrack at Lingfield in July and can race off the same mark here. King Olav has the past form to figure but has been way below par of late.
