SUPRISE VENDOR (NAP) attempted to make all over 2m3f here recently. He was caught in the home straight on that occasion but this shorter trip could see him hang on for victory. Walser is another who should be suited by the return to 2m having won at Newcastle on his penultimate start while Snowed In beat Nafaath five lengths at Catterick in January and can confirm running on today's terms. Diamond D'amour is a dual course and distance winner but his last win was back in 2012 and he has not looked the same horse since returning from a lay-off.
