Verdict
FIT THE BILL scored at Lingfield last time and both placed horses have run well subsequently. That form looks stronger than Buckland Beau's latest victory at Chelmsford, though the latter bids for a hat-trick and should still be in the mix despite being upped in class. Top Diktat drops back in trip having won an amateurs’ race over today's distance at Nottingham back in November and is preferred to Aldeburgh, who has done all his winning so far over further.
