Kohinoor Diamond⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 55| CD

11/10

Comfortable winner here last week and looks another typical slow burner for this yard. A penalty should be no handicap to her chances of notching up a sequence.

Form: 597-1

The Dukkerer⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: J G Given| OR: 55| CD

25/1

Getting closer to her last winning mark after two sub-standard efforts. She did lose a shoe last time but with a 4-59 record she is not one to make too many excuses for. Yard are 2-37 in past eight weeks.

Form: 237465

Bob's Boy^b,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 53| D

14/1

Last win came from this mark in August 2016. Amateur ridden on all four starts for his yard but interesting here with stronger handling employed. Wide draw is a negative.

Form: 62-6054

False Id^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: D Steele| OR: 52| C

12/1

Having second for new yard with his mark continuing to drop. Now 15lb lower than when sent off favourite over C&D in April when beaten 3l into fourth. Has been running over shorter lately and he could be a surprise package.

Form: 759365

Miss M³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 54

14/1

Looking exposed as a fairly moderate performer and step up to this trip provided no improvement at Windsor last time.

Form: 636886

(15)

Master Of Heaven^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 49| CD

14/1

In good form earlier this year with back to back victories here and at Brighton over this trip. Mark is back down to those levels but latest run, encouraging though it was, still leaves him short of his best.

Form: 680353

(2)

Tommy's Secret^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 48| C

3/1

Goes well around here and there is a good chance he will get a better gallop than was the case here last time. Has sound each-way claims.

Form: 446823

(3)

Sexy Secret^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Simon Pearce⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 47| CD

20/1

On an attractive mark but needs to be allowed to dominate from the front. Vulnerable once challenged he may find this too competitive for his liking.

Form: 055355

Haldaw²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 50

16/1

Has only troubled the judge once and that was in an uncompetitive five runner maiden at Wolverhampton. Has been campaigning over further but latest run suggested this might be more her trip. A further 3lb drop in the weights will help too.

Form: 664864

Race Time^p,t1¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 45

100/1

Pulled up on yard debut when sent off at 100/1 back in May. Off the track since and hard to recommend on that and previous efforts.

Form: 96-060P

(1)

Understory⁴²

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Ryan Tate| T: T D McCarthy| OR: 45| D

33/1

Last win came in 2013 and 38 races ago. Returned from a five month layoff to finish a one paced fourth here six weeks ago. Holds place claims with others looking more persuasive.

Form: 65-0044

(11)

Dance With Kate^p1¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 45

33/1

Has finished last in five of her six starts. Looks a real challenge for skilled new handler who has been reviving cast offs from other yards.

Form: 8995-9

(14)

Dawn Goddess³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: G & J Moore| OR: 47

16/1

Finished well to produce a career best at Brighton (1m) last time. Dam won over this trip and she is one to watch now that she has found her level.

Form: 487562

(8)

Bed Of Diamonds²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Manuel Fernandes⁽⁵⁾| T: A West| OR: 45

50/1

Change of surface and up in distance following another poor effort last time. Has raced from 7f-1m6f without troubling the judge as trainer looks for the right combination of going/distance.

Form: 0-86800

Forecasts

Kohinoor Diamond (11/10), Tommy's Secret (3/1), False Id (12/1), Miss M (14/1), Master Of Heaven (14/1), Bob's Boy (14/1), Pensax Lady (14/1), Haldaw (16/1), Dawn Goddess (16/1), Sexy Secret (20/1), The Dukkerer (25/1), Understory (33/1), Dance With Kate (33/1), Tarseekh (33/1), Bed Of Diamonds (50/1), Race Time (100/1)

KOHINOOR DIAMOND has the familiar profile of a late bloomer from this yard with the potential to build up a sequence of wins. Course specialist Tommy's Secret looks the main threat with the likelihood of a good pace to aim him at. Dawn Goddess and Haldaw are others with place claims in a race where few have realistic prospects.
