6/5

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (4/1) at Kempton (12f) 10 days ago, plenty in hand. Progressive and difficult to oppose under a penalty on tapeta debut.

Forecasts

Diamond Bay (6/5), Just Jacob (4/1), Hashtagmetoo (7/1), Western Beat (15/2), Out Of Reason (8/1), Night Moment (12/1), Mirage Mac (22/1), Monsaraz (28/1)

DIAMOND BAY is a progressive gelding and can continue his upward trajectory here to get the hat-trick up. Dominant at Kempton last week, he should be able to defy a 6 lb penalty tonight. Just Jacob is consistent and will be a significant threat. Out Of Reason looks the best of the remainder.
