Verdict
A race that won't take a great deal of winning and if BOLLYWOOD can handle the step up to three miles, he sets a stiff standard even at this lowly level. Lots Of Fun is tried in a tongue strap having not offered a great deal in the past. Midnight Diamond is capable of showing his form under testing conditions though he seems to have gone through a whole myriad of headgear. Miss Fleur is 10lb lower than when she last managed to complete a race.
