Verdict
Over The Creek would have made short work of these in his prime but clearly isn't the force of old. Apollo Blaze was big-priced winner of this 12 months ago and looks to have prepared with the race in mind again but STARBURST DIAMOND also stays well and has been in better form of late, beating the useful Moncadou over 3m2f at Warwick in March. He was a little disappointing between the flags last time but can do better here. Here's Johnny, Captain Marlon, Comrade Bob and Glacial Call have all done well in point-to-points lately and should also play a part in a wide-open finale.
