125/1

After a further 4 months off, finished well held on first outing since leaving Robyn Brisland when last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 125/1) 30 days ago. This run should reveal more.

Diamond Dreamer^b⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 55| D

6/1

Winner at Kempton (6f) on penultimate start last season. After 5 months off, ninth of 11 in handicap at the same C&D (12/1) 47 days ago, no extra final 1f. Could be much closer to form with his reappearance behind him.

Form: 78913-9

10/1

Moorgate²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: P G Murphy| OR: 48| CD

Form: 000/530

Forecasts

Hannah's Return (9/4), Nordic Glory (9/2), Diamond Dreamer (6/1), Moorgate (13/2), Due Date (9/1), Admirable Lad (10/1), Dequinto (11/1), Marinakis (11/1), Rhythmic Acclaim (22/1), Peggoty (125/1)

HANNAH'S RETURN was always doing enough from the front when winning over C&D on her latest outing and she can make a bold bid to add to her tally. Moorgate was runner-up to the selection when the pair met last month and he can give another good account, with 5-time course winner Nordic Glory completing the shortlist
