      Verdict

      Diamond Lady had several outings under her belt before winning last year’s renewal but hasn’t raced since December on this occasion. Our Oystercatcher makes his handicap debut while there was cut in the ground when Rose Berry was placed at Brighton last time and Bernardo O'Reilly was second in heavy going at Leicester in April. But JUST MAYBE won a maiden race over 6f back in 2016 and made a winning return over the minimum trip at Nottingham having missed the whole of last year. He looks capable of better still and gets the nod.
