4/7
Showed improved form to score on yard debut at Chelmsford (1m) in January. Progressed in defeat since, very good second of 7 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 31 days ago. Big player again.

25/1
Three wins from 15 runs last year. Creditable second of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 37 days ago, better placed than most. A couple of others appeal more for win purposes.

10/1
3-time C&D winner. 9/1, career best when winning 6-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, stayed on to lead last ½f. Consistency hard to knock around here and claims again granted good gallop to aim at.

10/1
Added second C&D victory to his tally in January. No match for a pair of less exposed sorts back here since but no surprise to see a better showing

5/1
Low-mileage colt who landed pair of C&D novice events early last year. Shade disappointing in handicaps thereafter but foolish to rule out further progress back on AW/returning from a break.

10/1
Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 13/8, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 32 days ago, not seen to best effect having endured a wide trip. Needs to settle better in any case.

Forecasts

Diderot (4/7), Flyin' High (5/1), Eilean Dubh (10/1), Imperial Command (10/1), Star Shield (10/1), Headingley (25/1)

Verdict

DIDEROT has made a smashing start for James Ferguson, successful at Chelmsford in January prior to even better efforts in defeat subsequently. He appeals as still being on a handy mark and gets the nod to come out on top in a good quality handicap. Fellow in-form rival Imperial Command and low-mileage Flyin' High head up the dangers.
