BIPLANE wasn’t suited by the slow pace in a four-runner affair at Newcastle but will be more at home in this. He won over track and trip on his penultimate start and can confirm running with Ring Of Gold. Nordhalla won here early in the year and is back on the same mark while the same comment applies to Visibility. Diamond Haze debuts on the all-weather having placed at Ripon last time but Sweet Mist has something to prove over this far.
