Collodi was engaged to run at Yarmouth yesterday and would carry a double penalty in this if successful. DIPLOMATIC makes more appeal as he's recorded six of his seven wins to date at this course including over track and trip last week. He can defy the 6lb extra and gets the nod. Aomen Rock has to be forgiven a poor effort at Nottingham last time but ran well when runner-up over course and distance before that. He can also figure along with Syncopate, who posted a better effort when a close-up fourth here a week ago.
