Diamond Dealer
DIAMOND DEALER survived a few scares when making a successful chase debut at Kelso last month and can follow up on just his second start for Dan Skelton. Yorgunnabeplucky chased home a subsequent winner last time and may improve returning to a more galloping track over a longer trip, while River Voyage was resurgent over hurdles last season and looks well worth another try over fences.

Winner over 2½m over hurdles for B. F. Brookhouse but shaped like a chaser and duly made a successful debut over fences (following another wind op) on first start for Dan Skelton at Kelso last month, despite a few bad mistakes. Looks up to winning more races.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 7f 96yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Kelso2m 6f 151yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/9Doncaster2m 4f 181yGoodHurdle2/9Wetherby2m 3f 154yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle6/9Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGoodHurdle5/11- 3River VoyageJ: Jamie BraceT: Rebecca Curtis4P6211-Age 79/45/211/4

Disappointed in two starts as a chaser but was revitalised over hurdles last season, winning a 6-runner handicap easily at Ffos Las (23f, heavy) before following up on better ground at Exeter, the three chasing him home all winning next time. Looks well worth another try over fences.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 7f 25yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/12Ffos Las2m 7f 191yHeavyHurdle1/6Chepstow2m 7f 131ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle2/12Ffos Las2m 7f 177yGood to SoftChase6/13Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yHeavyChasepu/12- 6The Big RevealJ: Joe AndersonT: Grace Harris57454-1Age 711/43/15/2

Broke his maiden under much less testing conditions than previously faced over fences when winning an 8-runner handicap chase (at Lingfield (23.5f, good) 10 days ago, capitalising on falling mark. Remains to be seen if he can back that up under a penalty in a better race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park2m 7f 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Ffos Las2m 7f 177yHeavyChase4/7Chepstow2m 7f 131yHeavyChase5/9Chepstow3m 2f 54yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase4/7Lingfield Park2m 7f 110ySoft (Heavy in places )Chase7/11- 7YorgunnabepluckyJ: Conor RingT: Evan Williams5750-12Age 511/213/26/1

Much improved when off the mark on chase debut at Ffos Las (16f) in June and matched that form upped in distance (following 4 months off) when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Stratford (22.6f) last month. May improve again returned to a more galloping track over a longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/7Ffos Las2mGood to SoftChase1/4Ffos Las1m 7f 182ySoftHurdle10/12Taunton2m 3f 1yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/8Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to SoftHurdle7/8- 4Bampton StarJ: Lorcan WilliamsT: Jeremy Scott5/361P-Age 822/122/120/1

Bagged 3m Exeter handicap (good to soft) for second year running in March but ran badly when pulled up at Ffos Las the following month. Has ran creditably following a break and may recapture his form on reappearance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las2m 7f 177ySoftChasepu/11Exeter3m 54yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Chepstow2m 7f 131yHeavyChase6/9Exeter3m 54ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/10Bangor-on-dee3m 30ySoft (Good To Soft In Places)Chase5/9- Non-Runners

Maiden pointer whose best effort came when fourth in maiden hurdle here in March 2023. Very lightly raced since and got back on track sent chasing despite making hard work of things at Warwick (25.4f) in January. Cheekpieces retained but now he needs to build on that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick3m 1f 100yGood to SoftChase2/10Newbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/8Worcester2m 7fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdleur/7Chepstow2m 7f 131ySoftHurdle4/9Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle9/14- 5Girls Best FriendWithdrawnJ: Charlie DeutschT: Venetia Williams5P5-Age 6

Would have been placed but for unseating between the last 2 on sole start in an Irish point. Little impact in maiden hurdles but is bred for chasing (yard know this family well) and could prove a different proposition upped in trip on handicap/chase debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFfos Las2m 4fHeavyHurdle5/7Chepstow2m 3f 100ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdlepu/14Lingfield Park2m 3f 110ySoftHurdle5/12
