Formscan - A tentative vote goes to the progressive DIAMONDS FOR LUCK, who has won his last three in comfortable fashion and a mark of 122 on his handicap debut could prove lenient. As long as the six-year-old handles the ground, he is likely to travel strongly through this contest with Imperial Cup third Afadil looking best placed to chase him home off 6lb lower than when third in this last year. A taking winner at Newbury last time out, Manuelito is expected to be thereabouts, while Celtic Dino is another to consider.
