Back-to-back victories at Southwell and Stratford prove that Zelos Diktator is in good heart, though he's been raised 8lb since his latest success and drops in distance on quicker ground here. Despite finishing second at Fontwell earlier this month, Bellosguardo was still beaten 11 lengths while Chilworth Screamer needs some help from the handicapper. WESTERN KATE has a good chance of reversing Stratford form with Zelos Diktator on the revised terms and will certainly appreciate the better going. With Harry Derham claiming 5lb, she gets a tentative vote in a race that won't take much winning.
