Diamond Dreamer^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Davies| T: P R Chamings| OR: 62| D

11/2

2 wins from 3 runs this year. 13/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago, leading last ½f and well on top finish. 4 lb rise unlikely to prevent another good showing provided he can translate that form back to turf.

Form: 913-911

Profit And Loss^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 60| D

9/4

Three-time winner in Jersey last year and positive start for new yard, good second of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Kempton (6f) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 2645-32

Zina Colada¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 57| D

8/1

Much improved when making a winning nursery debut at Yarmouth (6f) in September but has largely disappointed since, weakening from 2f out when sixth of 7 in handicap back at that venue 12 days ago.

Form: 180-406

Nordic Glory¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56| D

11/1

Successful twice on AW here last year and ran well to finish runner-up on 2 of his last 3 starts. Shade disappointing when sixth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago.

Form: 936226

Comedian Leader¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: J & S Best| OR: 55

18/1

Sixth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 28/1) 15 days ago, never involved. Bounce back called for having a rare start back at sprinting.

Form: 594586

Mellys Flyer²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley| T: C Wallis| OR: 55| D

Arlecchino's Gift²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 54| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 7/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Likely type to bounce back.

Form: 221629

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 52| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Gambled on, finished a creditable third of 6 in handicap here (5f, AW) 14 days ago. Not ruled out from further reduced mark.

Form: 358683

12/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 20/1) 26 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 29-4290

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

Forecasts

Profit And Loss (9/4), Diamond Dreamer (11/2), Pablo Del Pueblo (11/2), Arlecchino's Gift (13/2), Miss Moonshine (15/2), Zina Colada (8/1), Nordic Glory (11/1), Moorgate (12/1), Comedian Leader (18/1), Mellys Flyer (18/1), Carranita (80/1)

A former C&D winner, PABLO DEL PUEBLO failed to justify support on the polytrack here 2 weeks ago but he's well drawn to make full use of forcing tactics back on turf and could be worth chancing having slipped plenty in the weights. Diamond Dreamer has improved in blinkers on AW and is feared if translating that form back to turf. Profit And Loss and Arlecchino's Gift are others to consider.
