DIEGO VENTURA (4) resumed last time out and finished third over 1408m at Newmarket (Rowley), beaten 4.5 lengths. Is rarely far away and has amassed two wins from his appearances. Sure to prove tough to beat. AFOGADO (2) continues to race well with a win two back at Chantilly All Weather before finishing one length away in second last time over 1400m at Listed level at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove hard to hold out. EPSON BLUE CEN (5) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Among the main hopes. SCANDALO (3) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 9 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Takes on a better field this time but must be respected.
