DIAMAND DE VINDECY (4) has been freshened up for this after he was strongly fancied last time but beaten 12 lengths into sixth over 3200m at Haydock Park. Deserves another chance. SURREY FIRE (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2800m at Chelmsford, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. ALMUDENA (1) was safely held when resuming last start over 2800m at Chelmsford, finishing 12th and beaten 17 lengths. Sure to be competitive. CAPTAIN POTTER (6) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four outings this prep, finishing 0.8 lengths away in second most recently over 3430m at this track. Capable of testing this field.
