BARTOLOMEU was sent off a strong favourite on his comeback at Kempton but never looked like catching the winner Glen Moss. Marco Botti's charge should have come on for the outing and can make amends in this company. Jack Of Diamonds posted his best effort of last season when runner-up at Kempton in October and he should take care of the modest Petersboden here while Sandbetweenourtoes has something to prove after running as though something was amiss at Doncaster in June. Newcomer Evanescent is related to a couple of winners and the betting may give the best clue to his chances.
