Verdict

Ixelles Diamond is only 2lb higher than when winning this last year while it was soft ground when Live Dangerously won at Goodwood last week but he is upped in class off a higher mark. HARLEQUIN STRIKER (NAP) makes more appeal as he won a Class 3 nursery in soft ground over 7f at Newbury last year and remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for scoring at Ffos Las recently. A winner at Brighton in June, Arlecchino'S Leap is another upped in grade while Calima Breeze will need to to step up on her debut third at Bath where she was beaten 10 lengths.
