Placed on 3 of his 4 starts in novice hurdles and progressed when second on handicap debut at Hereford (19.7f) in February. Found things tougher on final 2 starts, pulled up at Bangor (19.5f) in April. However, not one to be writing off back from 6 months off.
|
Steadily progressive in handful of hurdle outings upon joining this yard last term, beaten only by another improver on handicap debut at Hereford (21.7f) in April. Beaten some way out when pulled up at Huntingdon in May but no surprise to see her back on the up on return.
|
Bumper/hurdles winner who seemed done for finishing speed when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f) in June. Cheekpieces return in place of visor now starting out for new stable but drop back to this sort of trip could well be on the sharp side.
|
Improved model for this yard following wind surgery, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newton Abbot/Worcester and solid runners-up efforts both starts since at around 23f. Looks sure to give another good account eased back in trip.
|
Fair on Flat and of a similar standard over hurdles, winning a trio of events at Les Landes in July and August. Ran up to best on debut for new yard when staying on third at Southwell (15.8f) 2 weeks ago and this step back up in trip well worth exploring on that evidence.
|
Failed to win on the Flat for Michael Bell and over hurdles for James Owen but struck at the first time of asking for Dan Skelton in 2m Stratford handicap in June. Creditable third next time and whilst he was below form at Market Rasen (18.6f) in August it remains relatively early days with him.
|
10-y-o who has tasted success twice already this season, dispelling a lesser effort at Worcester when bagging 11-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.7f) 23 days ago. However, wouldn't be sure to be in same form back up in class.
|
Winner of back-to-back 2m handicaps at Worcester last summer and highlighted he was back in good heart when making the frame on first 3 starts this season. Never a factor on the Flat at Bath (10.2f) last month but he returns to this discipline with his yard firmly amongst the winners.
|
Capitalised on reduced mark at Fontwell (25.7f) in May and showed benefit of her Newton Abbot run when third behind No Way Pedro at First-named venue 23 days ago. Still, another who likely needs to pull out more in what is a stronger race.

Forecasts
Diplomatie (3/1), Hillsin (4/1), Danzini (6/1), Mistral Milly (13/2), Thirtyfour Thirty (15/2), Emanate (9/1), Thank You Ma'am (12/1), No Way Pedro (12/1), Climate Precedent (22/1)
A 3-time winner in Jersey this summer, DIPLOMATIE made a solid start for the Harry Derham yard whilst suggesting the race didn't get to the bottom of her when staying on for third at Southwell 2 weeks ago. She's of interest over the longest trip she's faced with fellow in-form Hillsin rating an obvious danger. Emanate and Climate Precedent are others to consider in a competitive affair.
- Diplomatie3/1
