Diamond Ri
While his wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a 19-month absence, DIAMOND RI ventures into handicap company on a potentially handy mark and both the good form of his yard and the promise of improvement now upped in trip augur well in respect of his prospects here. Blue Carpet is an obvious threat given his profile, while the hat-trick seeking J J Moon and top-weight Classic King are others to consider.

Easy winner only start in bumpers and confirmed hurdles debut promise when taking a Warwick maiden (19f, soft) in January 2024. Solid second in 20.2f Cheltenham novice in April of that year and, though absent since, he's unexposed and is of strong interest upped in trip for this handicap debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 56yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/7Huntingdon2m 3f 137ySoftHurdle4/4Warwick2m 3fSoftHurdle1/13Exeter2m 161yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/15Warwick2mSoft (Heavy in places)Bumper1/7- 8I'm A LumberjackJ: Tom BellamyT: Alan King/21F31-Age 67/24/19/2

Fairly useful bumper performer who confirmed hurdling debut promise when running out a tidy winner of 11-runner maiden at Warwick (21f, soft) last December. Added to that when landing the odds in a Bangor novice on final start of last season and mark for this handicap debut doesn't look prohibitive.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBangor-on-dee2m 3f 123yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGood to SoftHurdle3/9Market Rasen2m 4f 139yGood to Soft (Soft in places)HurdleF/4Warwick2m 5fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/11Bangor-on-dee2m 145yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/10- 10Blue CarpetJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton134-21Age 55/14/19/2

Fairly useful bumper winner who built on hurdling debut promise when easily landing the odds in 3-runner novice at Wetherby (19.7f, good).

Signed off last term by opening his account in an Exeter maiden and, having undergone a wind op in the interim, he raised his game when making a winning handicap debut on return at Newton Abbot (21.6f, soft). Further progress likely now faced with a stiffer test and he's a key player.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewton Abbot2m 5f 122yGood to SoftHurdle1/6Exeter2m 5f 137yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/2Kempton Park2m 5fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/8Wincanton2m 3f 179yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/13Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGoodHurdle6/11- 1Classic KingJ: Rex DingleT: Emma Lavelle1U132-4Age 79/19/110/1

Dual 19f hurdles/chase winner last term who signed off with a good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft). Underwent a wind op prior to an encouraging reappearance kept to hurdles at Cheltenham and shapes as though worth a try over this trip.

Very smart chaser at best but not at the same level in handful of outings over hurdles last season. Resumes from a 7-month absence on a potentially very handy mark, but it's not hard to have reservations all the same.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr2m 5f 91yGood to SoftHurdle7/10Bangor-on-dee2m 3f 123yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/7Haydock Park3m 58yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/6Cheltenham2m 4f 56ySoftHurdle4/6Ascot2m 3f 58yGoodHurdlepu/5- 3PunctuationJ: Nico de BoinvilleT: Nicky Henderson55/430-Age 812/112/114/1

Five-time hurdles winner for Fergal O'Brien and ended time with that yard with victory in 2m Flat handicap at Goodwood in May 2024. Good third over 21f at Kempton on the second of his 3 starts for new yard last term, but one or two of these look more solid.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 56yGood to SoftHurdle15/24Kempton Park2m 5fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/12Doncaster2m 3f 88yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/7Goodwood2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/7Newbury2m 69yHeavyHurdle5/6- 7KeableJ: Callum PritchardT: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White/52119-Age 816/116/114/1

Did the job in good style when getting off the mark in a 21.5f Exeter handicap on New Year's Day. Followed up over this C&D 2 weeks later, but struggled on final run of last season and it could be that he's a shade too high in the weights for now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 7f 25yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle9/12Newbury3m 52ySoftHurdle1/9Exeter2m 5f 137ySoftHurdle1/11Wincanton3m 150ySoftHurdle2/10Lingfield Park2m 7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/8- 11Kruger ParkJ: Jay TidballT: Paul Nicholls334PP-4Age 725/125/122/1

Progressive switched to handicaps during second-half of 2023/24 season and made the frame twice off higher marks than this last term. However, ended that campaign on a low-key note and reappearance effort at Lingfield wasn't particularly encouraging.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park2m 7fGood to SoftHurdle4/6Newton Abbot3m 2f 105yHeavyHurdlepu/8Fontwell Park2m 5f 164ySoft (Heavy in Places)Hurdlepu/6Newbury3m 52ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/12Uttoxeter2m 7f 70ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle3/8- 4Samuel SpadeJ: Ben JonesT: Ben Pauling38157-9Age 628/128/125/1

Five-time winner over hurdles, including a career best at Ascot (23.5f, good) in February and backed that up with a solid fifth in a competitive handicap at Uttoxeter next time. However, he was tailed off on his reappearance over C&D earlier this month and is opposable on the back of that display.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury3m 57yGood to SoftHurdle9/11Cheltenham2m 7f 213yGoodHurdle7/9Uttoxeter2m 7f 70yGood to SoftHurdle5/17Ascot2m 7f 118yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/17Windsor3mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/12- 9Permis De TuerJ: Harry KimberT: Robert Walford1/Age 528/128/125/1

Fairly useful form when winning 11-runner listed juvenile hurdles on debut for Noel George & Amanda Zetterholm at Auteuil in September 2023. Completely unexposed, but subsequent absence has to be a major concern ahead of this handicap/stable debut.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAuteuil2m 1f 197yVery softHurdle1/11
