Last three wins have come at Lingfield. Has been running in sellers and claimers lately which reinforce the view he is poorly handicapped at present.

Down to his last winning mark and signs last time that he was on his way back. Goes well around here and looks a leading player in this.

Dual dirt winner in the US back in 2011. Has run some good races in defeat and interesting with leading rider now booked.

Was in good form in 2016 winning five handicaps the last three coming in a hat-trick in July/August. Has won here four times and now dropped to a mark 3lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford in August. Two runs back from an absence should have him spot on for this.

Had Light From Mars and Picket Line behind when stealing a race from the front here two weeks ago. Had little left at the line and may struggle to confirm the form off 2lb higher.

9/4
Has landed four races in lower grade this winter. Not disgraced in better company since and was poorly drawn last time. Dropped in class here and the handicapper has relaxed his grip slightly.

Has won twice here over a mile. Latest success is good enough form and the way he travelled that day suggests this shorter trip will not be an issue.

11/1
Winner of 13 races who shaped well here last time off a career low mark. Would be expected to turn the tables with Gulland Rock on these terms.

Has had three runs in maidens and will be seen to better effect now handicapping. Bred to come into her own over further.

Forecasts

Fire Diamond (9/4), Papou Tony (5/1), Higher Court (5/1), Gulland Rock (8/1), Picket Line (9/1), Chetan (10/1), Light From Mars (11/1), Chelwood Gate (16/1), Bob Hopeful (25/1)

Verdict

Fire Diamond rattled off a four-timer in Class 6 races this winter and has been aimed much higher since. The handicapper has dropped him down the weights following a disappointing effort last time in a hot race where he was poorly drawn. He makes plenty of appeal in a race against more exposed rivals. Papou Tony appeared to have a bit left when scoring over a mile last time. He was always travelling like a winner that day and this shorter trip should not be a problem. CHETAN is interesting from his reduced handicap mark. Two runs this spring will have him spot on for this and his form of last year gives him an obvious chance.
