Canadian Diamond21
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-2| J: Adam Beschizza| T: R Rowe| OR:  66
5/2
Useful dual purpose performer who scored over C&D two starts back. Followed that up with a win at Southwell last time and still feasibly handicapped on the best of his hurdles form so likely to go close again provided he gets a pace to run at.

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: A Stronge| OR:  64
4/1
Performing well over hurdles recently and creditable Flat horse. Usually runs over shorter than 2m in this sphere but no reason why he won't enjoy this test and looks like a leading candidate in this.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: C R Dore| OR:  64
10/1
Consistent performer thriving on his racing and won off a mark this high in August at Chelmsford. However, consistently misses the break from the stalls and may struggle conceding ground to some of these.

20/1
Placed just once in eight starts on the AW and looks set to struggle against better handicapped rivals here.

Age: 4|  Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: R Eddery| OR:  57
4/1
Unplaced on all five starts to date and not shown much over middle distances but likely to prove better over this kind of trip. Feasibly handicapped on some of his hurdles form.

Age: 8|  Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Stronge| OR:  47
33/1
Still a maiden after 18 runs on the Flat and lacks the pace to be competitive in this sphere.

Celestial Dancer21
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle(5)| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR:  47
20/1
Still a maiden after 14 starts but has looked capable of scoring off this kind of mark on a couple of occasions. However, likely to struggle in race like this.

Oyster Cardp126
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-5| J: M Dwyer| T: M Appleby| OR:  47
4/1
Still a maiden after 12 starts and makes little appeal having placed only once in a race this strong.

Forecasts

Canadian Diamond (5/2), Thomas Blossom (4/1), Oyster Card (4/1), Tynecastle Park (4/1), Yasir (10/1), Vedani (20/1), Celestial Dancer (20/1), Cappielow Park (33/1)

Verdict

CANADIAN DIAMOND still looks on a workable mark and this useful dual purpose performer is taken to score a hat-trick here providing there's some pace on. Thomas Blossom should run well and the booking of Adam Kirby is a positive and Yasir has a place chance providing he gets a clean break from the stalls. 1. Canadian Diamond 2. Thomas Blossom 3. Yasir
