Just modest in bumpers but has surpassed that form in making the frame both starts in maiden hurdles, again shaping like a stayer at Ffos Las (20f) latest. Step up in trip seems sure to suit and must enter calculations.

Failed to justify support when down the field only start in bumpers but has steadily improved with each run over hurdles, finishing third in 6-runner affair at Newcastle (22f) latterly.

Down the field in 2 bumpers but left previous hurdling exploits in his wake when second of 14 in a novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f) in October, headed dying strides. Ran to a similar level upped in trip when third at Haydock since and likely to be in the thick of the action again.

Runner-up in a point and offered more than in his sole bumper upped markedly in trip when second in a 12-runner maiden hurdle (23f) at Worcester in July. Off since but open to improvement nonetheless.

Fair in bumpers and should learn from his opening effort over hurdles when fifth of 13 in at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 39 days ago, for all that he showed an ungainly side.

5/2
Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (h90), bumper/2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Western Run. Winning pointer at fourth attempt and shaped quite promisingly when fourth of 10 at Haydock on hurdling debut 27 days ago, weakening only late on. Should improve.

Mount Nelson gelding who showed plenty to work on when third of 12 in maiden hurdle (50/1) at Leicester (20.5f, good to soft) on debut 43 days ago, running on late. Open to improvement over this longer trip.

Forecasts

Star Of Diamonds (5/2), Andy Amo (11/4), Grand Geste (9/2), Seatoit (9/2), Pike Road (8/1), Camps Bay (14/1), Express Run (20/1), Synchronist (150/1), Oneandahalfdegrees (150/1), Tommy Tucker (200/1)

Verdict

STAR OF DIAMONDS made a promising start to his career under Rules when fourth at Haydock earlier in the month and is put forward as the answer with improvement on the cards. Grand Geste seemed suited by the step up to this trip when finishing narrowly ahead of the selection last time, with Andy Amo also of firm interest now upped in distance.
