Unless there is something smart amongst the newcomers, DILIGENT HARRY should have no problems following up his debut success over 6f at Wolverhampton where he made all. The remainder were well beaten and the runner-up won next time so the form looks strong. Miss Bella Brand made a very promising debut over this trip at Wolverhampton in December but ran very poorly on a return visit last month. The filly Sanctified has a very speedy all-weather pedigree as does Pretty Shiftwell, who is also by Equiano and out of a winning sprinter who produced a 5f winner with her first offspring.
