Verdict
Sky Diamond won twice on the Polytrack at this level last month and cannot be easily dismissed in his current form, but there's a question mark about Enriching dropping back in trip after placed efforts over 1m4f. Gazboolou won at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but has plenty to find on today's terms with GRAND PIANO. The latter was mixing it with much higher-rated rivals than these when third in a Newbury claimer last month and a repeat effort would be good enough to get his head back in front here. Lutine Charlie could prove best of the remainder.
