Top Diktat finally got off the mark when landing a maiden at Yarmouth last month and will need to improve again in this company, while Spa's Dancer steps up in class after scoring over C&D on his latest start. Ascot winner First Post moves in the opposite direction having finished fifth in a higher grade at Haydock last time and Nelson's Bounty may also fare better back at this level. However, another chance is given to DYSIOS, who didn't quite get home over 1m2f when third here on his latest start and is fancied to return to winning ways back over today's trip. Hacienda could prove best of the rest.
