Any number of these could bounce back but the speculative vote goes to the only recent winner in DIAMOND LADY. She's upped 3lb after winning at Nottingham last time but scored off a higher mark last season. Light From Mars and Vincentti can go on the short-list having gone close last time and Putin can join them having been declared a non-runner in an easier race yesterday. Atlantis Crossing and Cardinal may have a say off their current marks but Powerful Pierre is better on the all-weather.
