Victorious over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in November last year. Ran well on second of two starts since when beaten a neck over 1m4f at the same course in January and an interesting runner returning to turf today.
Took a 1m4f amateur riders event at Newbury (good-to-soft) for the second year in succession in October last year. Beaten 6ÂľL into fifth over 1m4f at Catterick (good-to-firm) on his seasonal debut last month. and would probably prefer softer ground than is forecast here.
Has been racing over hurdles this winter winning twice and finishing runner-up over 2m at Warwick (soft) in March. Well beaten twice off this mark when last seen on the Flat last October and an interesting runner in this.
Ten race maiden including in three hurdles runs for this stable. Well beaten eighth of 11 over 1m6f at Salisbury (good-to-soft) on latest Flat run in October last year and wears cheekpieces for the first time today.
Successful over 1m4f on the AW at Lingfield off a 5lb lower mark on handicap debut at Lingfield last August. Having his first run since being gelded when beaten 1ÂĽL into third over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month and an interesting runner here.
Successful seven times in his career but just one of those has come on turf. Wearing blinkers for just the second time when beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month and interesting to see if he can repeat that here.
Wearing cheekpieces (retained here) for the first time when off the mark at the 13th time of asking in selling company over 1m4f at Lingfield in December. Returns to handicap company on his debut for this yard today.

Hermann (9/4), Spinners Ball (10/3), Jack Of Diamonds (5/1), Cape Discovery (11/2), Hepplewhite (6/1), Syncopate (13/2), Giveaway Glance (8/1), Priors Brook (10/1), The Otmoor Poet (20/1)
JACK OF DIAMONDS finished a neck second over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month and can go one better by taking this concluding handicap event. The selection was tackling middle distances for the first time since September 2015 on that occasion and he can get the better of Hermann who remains unexposed having made just four racecourse appearances so far and is versatile in terms of tactics. Giveaway Chance who has won twice over hurdles since her last Flat outing can claim third in this.
