Race Tip

DIOMED DUKE (4) recorded a seasonal best when 2L second at Newmarket last week. Much better weighted now taking into account a jockey claim. Course and distance winner last year and plenty to like. THE THAMES BOATMAN (1) is highly reliable. Runner-up last time at Salisbury (5f) while enjoys the all-weather track at this venue. Record on this surface less impressive but still needs considering. MIRACLEOFTHEANDES (7) registered a 1. 5L second among novice company last time (5f). Entitled to improve with that outing behind him. SANDSCREENDELIVERD (6) goes well at this circuit. Consistent and makes the shortlist.
