      Verdict

      Caribbean Spring has won three times on the all-weather but is 0-15 on Turf. X Rated is reasonably consistent at this level and will enjoy the conditions more than most while Becky Smith was on board when Quoteline Direct won at Nottingham in November. Micky Hammond also runs Mister Moosah, who is still a maiden after 15 starts but hasn't been beaten far in his latest runs. DIAMONDS A DANCING was in fine form last summer, scoring twice under regular partner Abbie McCain. He's only had two runs this season and should be nearing his peak so gets the nod to return to winning ways. Orobas has only won on the all-weather though didn't run badly at Yarmouth last time while Bromance is 3lb lower than his only victory to date at Beverley last May.
