Verdict

DIAMOND'S RETURN makes a swift reappearance after winning a conditionals' race under Conor O'Farrell at Wincanton on Sunday. He has no penalty to carry and, still unexposed, can follow up. Strictly is also lightly-raced over timber but it was only a seller that he won at Newton Abbot 13 days ago while the four-year-old Prince Freddie is proving inconsistent and probably has his fair share of weight. Acapulco Bay won here last month, however, and was third over C&D off today's mark on his latest outing so can't be ignored.
