In depth

Verdict

Plenty of professional losers on view but Diamond Orchid takes a significant drop in class vis-a-vis her juvenile form and we will take her against Chocolate Boy, Montosari and Forest Heath. David Evans team are in good form at the moment and while the surface is something of an imponderable, it is worth noting that at this stage last year, Diamond Orchid was racing off a handicap mark some 36lbs higher than today. A fair third to Rosti at Southwell, if she takes to the surface, she must take the beating. Chocolate Boy is another to hail from an in-form yard. The five-year-old is significantly hiked in trip after near misses over eight and twelve furlongs and is prone to miss the kick. Forest Heath should strip fitter for a reappearance bow and has leading all-weather pilot Jimmy Quinn doing the steering. Free Style is a course and distance winner who should be respected if the money is down while Montosari won well here in a similar contest over 1m5f but could be better drawn. Diamond Orchid is recommended in a tricky opener.
