10/1
Victorious over an extended 1m7f at Towcester (good-to-firm) in April but disappointing fourth over the same C&D off this 4lb higher mark subsequently and more needed here.

Disappointing since winning over 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good) in a novice hurdle last September. Pulled up on heavy ground last time out and a bit to prove at present.

Runner-up in point-to-points under today's rider the last twice including on good-to-firm ground last time. Returns to rules here and worth a check in the market.

Taunton maiden hurdle winner on good-to-firm ground in April but held on his return to handicaps off this mark subsequently. More needed if he's to register a second career success in this.

6/4
Failed to win in 41 starts prior to joining this yard but now won his last four outings in impressive fashion. Most recent effort came off a 10lb lower mark at Market Rasen (good) last month and likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

Flat winner on debut for this yard at Lingfield on the AW last November. Well beaten over hurdles last time and probably best watched here.

Finished runner-up over 2m at Ffos Las (good) when wearing a tongue tie for the first time in April. Well beaten the last twice however including in returning cheekpieces last time.

Forecasts

Too Many Diamonds (6/4), Sailors Warn (5/2), Cabernet D'Alene (11/4), Utility (7/2), Equity Swap (7/1), Solstalla (7/1), Honey Pound (10/1), Equleus (14/1), Hallings Comet (16/1)

Verdict

TOO MANY DIAMONDS has been in fine form since joining this yard winning four times in a week last month and can complete the five-timer following a small break. The selection justified odds-on favouritism off a 10lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time and can see off Sailors Warn who was the easy winner of a Stratford handicap hurdle last time. The top weight Utility represents good connections and was in front when coming down last time out and he can claim third.
  1. Too Many Diamonds
