Formscan  - DIPLOMATIC ASH lost little in defeat when bumping into a subsequent winner at Fontwell last month and compensation could be on the cards. The six-year-old was only raised 1lb for that runner-up effort and the introduction of blinkers may be a shrewd move. The Venetia Williams yard have started to hit some form and Jeu D'opale is well worth a second look, while Hors Jeu is entitled to build on last month's seasonal return/chasing debut.
