'He did best of those who came from the rear' - Graeme Rodway's Monday tip

Diocletian
6.40 Carlisle
1pt win at 11-2 generally (6-1 with bet365, William Hill & BetVictor)

It's nearly three years since this seven-year-old recorded his last Flat victory for former trainer Andrew Balding, but that came off a mark of 85 and he shaped like he could soon cash in on his BHA rating of 68 when second on his latest outing at Catterick.

Diocletian was beaten four lengths by Oasis Prince, but the winner enjoyed the run of the race from a prominent position and my selection performed remarkably well to get so close after being held up at the back. He did best of those who came from the rear.
