BETTER took a big step forward when a ready scorer on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton and an 11 lb hike in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent George Boughey's son of Due Diligence from following up. Leveret wasn't at her best in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton last time and can bounce back now, while handicap debutante Princess Alice is another to consider.
