Diplomat Hotel Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

150/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago. Down in trip.

Soldier's Call gelding. Dam, 5f winner, sister to smart 7f/1m winner King's Field.

Placed both starts for Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore last year and similar form for this yard, albeit expensive to follow (failed to land the odds on 2 occasions). Drops to 5f for the first time in quest to get it right.

Ran to a fair level both outings at Wolverhampton in March for Stuart Kittow before taking a backward step at Kempton in May (all 6f). Down to 5f for turf debut with a tongue tie fitted on the back of a breathing operation.

Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to 5f/6f winner Outer Edge. Dam 5f-6f winner.

Runner-up for the first time in her career at Pontefract last month. Not quite at her best over the same C&D 2 weeks ago but she should be a big factor in a race like this.

80,000 gns Zoustar filly. Sister to 5f winner Sweet Carolina. Dam, 7f-8.6f winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1¾m winner (stayed 2½m) Totalize. Ignored in the betting but finished ahead of next-time-out winning stablemate when third on debut at Southwell (6f) 4 weeks ago. Plenty more to come.
