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

(8)

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

(6)

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

(3)

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

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.
