Placed on first of 2 starts in points and promise in trio of bumpers in Ireland. Pick of his efforts for present yard was his second in a novice hurdle here in November 2024 but he hasn't made the promising of transitions to this sphere and look stronger.
|
Finally opened her account when landing a 3-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft), which was her first outing following another wind op. 7 lb rise isn't unreasonable all things considered and she's one of the more appealing candidates.
|
Pretty reliable on the whole over fences, taking record in this sphere to 5-27 when getting on top in the shadow of the post at Wincanton (20.2f, good to soft) last month. Remains feasibly treated up 2 lb and likely to be in the thick of things once again.
|
Maiden hurdler who has been pulled up both starts switched to fences this season. Eased 4 lb since latest run but he's hard to warm to all the same.
|
Went close in a Hereford handicap hurdle on final run of last season and placed first 2 starts of present campaign. However, she hasn't offered a great deal switched to fences the last twice and now tried in blinkers.
|
Quick to make his mark as a chaser for Dan Skelton with stylish victories at Warwick and Newton Abbot last spring. Hasn't made a particularly bright start for new yard, though, and this 6-y-o needs to bounce back in a major way.
|
Maiden hurdler who made decent start over fences when close fourth of 5 over this C&D in November. Slightly longer trip perhaps proved his undoing at Fontwell (21.6f, soft) since and each-way chance if able to get back on track.
|
Successful first 2 starts over fences at Huntingdon but his form has nosedived dramatically since and hopes now very much pinned on the addition of blinkers doing the trick.
|
Low-mileage 9-y-o who hasn't troubled the judge in 4 starts over timber and is likely best watched on chase debut.
|
Dual winner over fences at Leicester last term and returned with a good second at Fontwell (21.6f, good to soft) in November. Not in the same form since, though, and latest effort back at Fontwell was poor, for all that the step up to 3¼m probably counted against him.
|
Modest winning hurdler in 2022. Failed to scale similar heights switched to fences following a lengthy absence last season but bettered his reappearance efforts when second in a 4-runner affair over this C&D (good) last month. Place possibilities if able to build on that.

Forecasts
Stardhem (7/2), Diamond Days (11/2), Gwennie May Jem (6/1), Lady Pretender (13/2), Constant Friday (15/2), Begin The Luck (8/1), Desert Halo (11/1), Ronnies Reflection (12/1), Jack The Nipper (12/1), Jackeline (16/1), Arctic Stream (40/1)
Though it was only a three-runner affair in which LADY PRETENDER somewhat belatedly got off the mark at Plumpton last month, there was enough in that performance to suggest that this 7 lb higher mark may not prove beyond reach in a race of this nature. It's probably worth overlooking Diamond Days' latest effort and he is second choice ahead of Begin The Luck and Constant Friday.
- Lady Pretender13/2
- Diamond Days11/2
