Boodles Diamond Ormonde Stakes (Group 3)

20/1 winner of a Group 3 at Newbury when last seen and carries a penalty for that but went close over C&D prior to that effort and every chance he can make his presence felt once again at this level. Went well on seasonal return last year and all his best efforts have come on soft ground so any rain would help.

Fair efforts in Meydan for Satish Seemar and scored on his return to this yard at Musselburgh last time. The concern would be the weather forecast with most of his best efforts coming on faster ground, he won't want the rain to arrive. Trainer came close to having a winner here on Wednesday and not dismissed.

Won a maiden in France for Andre Fabre but shown nothing over hurdles for this yard and finished a well beaten last of five at Nottingham last time. Had race fitness on his side so difficult to find excuses for that effort and looks out of his depth in this company. Does have a handy draw and a jockey who rides the course well in his favour.

Won a handicap here last year before going on to finish a good sixth in the Derby having met trouble in running. Proved he could cut it at Group 1 level with a runner-up effort at Saint-Cloud but not seen since and has a bigger break than the rest of the field to overcome. Any rain that arrives would be a bonus but draw doesn't make life easy; he's one to keep an eye on this season.

Won the Chester Vase at this meeting last year but was a little underwhelming in doing so. Excellent effort in the Derby after conceding first run to the winner and looked a little unlucky on that occasion but he's failed to win since and there's a small question mark over whether he's keeping something for himself. Probably best off a strong pace and not sure to get that here so he's opposable at a likely short price.

Highly progressive last season and should come on for his recent comeback effort in a Listed race at Nottingham when he was just touched off by the winner. More to come this year and has drawn better than most of his main rivals so should run well provided he doesn't get caught out by this tight track.

Multiple Group winner earlier in his career but he's a complicated sort who can miss the break, run keenly and hang under pressure. Lucky to keep the race at Kempton last time after bumping and carrying the runner-up left and needs the first-time cheekpieces to have the desired effect. Has run well fresh so not discounted and this trainer/jockey combination have been amongst the winners this week.

Exciting prospect who broke the track record on AW Championships Final's Day when last seen. No reason why he shouldn't be as effective on turf and the horse he beat in second ran a fine race here on Wednesday. Still unexposed and has leading claims in this line-up.

Won her debut impressively at Kempton but too keen to do herself justice in Group company at this meeting last year. Similar story when sent off just 12/1 for the Oaks where she was pulled up but connections' patience rewarded with a Listed win at the end of last season. Highly thought of and should be more to come this year; can give a good account if ready for return to action.
