Verdict
DIAMOND FORT made his debut under Rules here and finished a respectable fourth in a similar bumper. He may well prove good enough with normal progress. Aspergillum was still beaten a long way when third at Market Rasen but is preferred to Midnight Jitterbug and Midnight Chill while Cresswell Legend, Searching For Gold and Agamemmon are all point-to-point winners worthy of a second glance. Linenhall is a half-brother to winners over hurdles and another to keep an eye on.
