Land League ran no sort of race last time at Uttoxeter and now has questions to answer while Shimba Hills has done all of his winning so far at Plumpton. But Canadian Diamond is a possibility given he’s back on a winning mark and has been going well on the all-weather over the winter. French import FULL had just one run for David Pipe before switching to Neil Mulholland. He will have benefited from that outing at Warwick and has more scope than these rivals.
