RACING POST VERDICT

Having made all here last time, PASSING DIAMOND can follow up under a penalty now going back up in trip.

Racing Post Pick
Passing Diamond
Our Expert Tip

Passing Diamond won well last time but may not like the step up from 2m to 2m4f. Bold Step\'s run in a bumper last time was a good second but the form you can pick holes in.

So I\'m looking at MISTER ST ELOI to go on and win this race. This lightly raced 5 year old was actually bought from Ireland for £180,000 and may be in a different league to the rest of this field and I fully expect a win for Sean Bowen and Olly Murphy here without too much fuss.
