Verdict
Brelan D'As appears to have lost the plot and Authorizo also looks up against it but the remaining trio all have solid claims. Peterborough won his only recent race over fences, at Kelso in February, and Costly Diamond was more like his old self here three weeks ago but CILLUIRID won over track and trip on the same day and the course specialist is in such good form that he could defy a 4lb rise in the ratings.
