DIAMONDONTHEHILL (3) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1200m at this track last start. Well placed here and gets his chance to bounce back. BELL SHOT (7) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a third over 1200m at Thirsk. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. STATE FLAG (6) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Among the better hopes. SIGNCASTLE CITY (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 25/08/2024, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1600m at Goodwood. Has to be respected.
