In depth
Verdict
Hollywood All Star failed in a bid for a hat-trick when second over track and trip last time and has been raised a further 3lb. Debdebdeb could only manage third at Sedgefield having won at Catterick earlier while Darwins Theory is upped 8lb for scoring at Exeter last month. Harley Rebel won a juvenile race at Fontwell on Boxing Day and Gaelic Myth could go well on his handicap bow but preference goes to Taunton winner CANADIAN DIAMOND, who ran well again behind Zulu Oscar in a tougher race over course and distance last time.
