Verdict

After failing to fire in the EBF Final at Sandown DIOMEDE DES MOTTES got his career firmly back on track at Warwick when last seen equipped with a tongue-tie. That piece of equipment is now retained on the back of a wind op and he should have enough class to concede weight all round. Big Nasty produced a notably better performance when tried over a trip more in keeping with his pedigree at Wetherby on hurdles debut; he may have been slightly flattered but rates the main danger. Len Brennan returned to hurdles and course winner Princess Nearco add a little more depth to the contest but would need to produce a career-best to win.
