Victorious on 1m on good-to-soft ground at Bath on his penultimate start for previous stable in September last year. Made his debut for this yard when finishing sixth at Nottingham last month and likely to have improved for that first start since November last year.
Runner-up twice on the AW at Newcastle last November and went one better when successful over 1m at Lingfield in early January. Has been gelded since and interesting off a mark 2lb higher than for that latest success.
Admirable veteran with a record of 16 wins in 141 starts including on two of his last three starts. Latest win came by ¾L over C&D earlier this month and he's also been successful on the AW at Lingfield this season. Races from out of the handicap here.
Justified odds-on favouritism in an eight runner contest over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in October 2016. Sole start since came when beaten 7¼L over 1m at Newmarket on good-to-firm ground last month and represents a yard with a 17% strike-rate of late (4/24).
Finished runner-up over 7f on the AW at Kempton last October and finished third over the same trip at Doncaster later that month. Attempted to make all when finishing fourth over 1m2f at Windsor (good) in first time cheekpieces (retained today) last month and has been gelded since. Yard have a 36% strike-rate recently (8/22).
Well held on first two outings last September but off the mark at the third attempt over C&D on good ground the following month. Yard are in good form recently (3/10) and an interesting runner returning to this track for her seasonal and handicap debut.

DIAMOND BEAR raced prominently when breaking her maiden over this C&D last year and she can make a winning handicap debut on her seasonal return. The selection receives weight from all her rivals here and defeat fellow three-year-old Morning Suit, a winner on the AW in January in this with the well-bred Radjash taken to claim third dropping in trip today.
