Chased leaders in 3rd, slight mistake 5th, closer order 9th, slight mistake 3 out, went 2nd between last 2, kept on well without reaching winner run-in op 16/1
Diamond King (8/13), Call The Taxie (13/8), Moonshine Bay (8/1), Jaime Sommers (20/1), Smokey Joe Joe (25/1)
Fascinating tussle ahead that could turn in to a cat and mouse contest in the early stages with DIAMOND KING likely to hold all the aces over the consistent Call The Taxie and the potential improver Moonshine Bay. The selection will be no worse for wear for his Cheltenham festival exploits when hampered at the second in the Grade 3 Coral Cup and immediately pulled up.
