Maxios half-sister to Group 2 1¼m winner Smoking Sun and Listed 1m winner Zhiyi. Caught the eye when a strong-travelling 1½L third of 12 to California Love at Chelmsford (7f) on November debut, and open to plenty of improvement this year.

66/1
Half-sister to numerous winners, but has failed to beat a rival on either start to date, and looks very limited on early evidence.
Stablemate of Burning Topic. Closely related to 2-y-o 1m winner Shalimah and 1m1f-1m4½f winner Maulesden May, but showed little aside from greenness on debut at Kempton in November, and will be of interest only when qualified for handicaps.

Dam was a four-time winner at around this trip for same connections, and this daughter of Mukhadram showed plenty amidst greenness when runner-up on racecourse bow at Beverley three weeks ago. Sure to progress, and has leading claims.

33/1
Out of a 6f winner, but has shown just minor promise in two starts to date, the latest after a 7-month absence at Lingfield. Needs this run to qualify for handicaps, and best watched as a result.

100/1
Dam was a multiple winner at a modest level for this yard, but this daughter of Phoenix Reach needed wind surgery prior to this racecourse bow, and she makes little short-term appeal.

Appeared to show marked improvement when sixth of 15 to Manana Chica in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in May, but efforts since suggest she's flattered by that. Still has place claims in a race lacking depth, though.

Forecasts

Five Diamonds (1/2), Burning Topic (15/8), Raha (12/1), Dreamingofdiamonds (25/1), Forthwith (33/1), Diamond Cara (66/1), Indian Sea (66/1), Phoebe Agnes (100/1)

Verdict

A match, it would seem, between well-connected and once-raced pair FIVE DIAMONDS and Burning Topic. The latter arguably has the greater scope for progress, but may just need this after an absence and that just swings the balance. Raha has struggled to make a major impact, but has generally faced stiff tasks, and shown enough to reward each-way support in a race which lacks depth beyond the front pair.
