Diamond Ri (G)
[PT1]
Promising novice in 2023/24 but hasn't offered much since returning from a lengthy absence, pulled up 2 of 3 starts in handicaps this season. Drops in grade, though has enough to prove on the back of a breathing op with tongue strap added.

Lynx De Thaix (G)
Unbeaten in a trio of 4-y-o events over hurdles in France for J. Delaunay, scoring by 3 lengths in an 11-runner contest at Angers when last seen in November. Interesting contender as he makes handicap/stable debut.

Sherminator (G)
[T]
Made a successful start over hurdles in a junior event for Emma Lavelle last season. Followed up on stable debut and bounced back from a fall on his return when winning a Ludlow novice last month. Could still have more to offer as he goes …

French Emperor (G)

Improved for the switch to handicaps this season when recording back-to-back wins at Worcester and Cheltenham. Soon left behind a lesser effort when third at Chepstow (19.4f) in January, beaten by a well-treated pair, so he can give anothe…

Knock Off Soxs (G)
Point winner who has made an encouraging start over hurdles, getting off the mark at the second attempt in a Taunton novice (16.5f) in December. Beaten only by a hurdling debutant at the same course (19f) next time, but more needed as he g…

Benvoy (G)
[BT]
Back to form with a bang after wind surgery (blinkers also refitted) when making all at Huntingdon in December. However, in first-time visor he was unable to lead when pulled up at Taunton (19f) next time. Blinkers now return.

Western Cross (G)
[H1]
Runner-up on first of 2 outings in bumpers and showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when third in a Hereford novice in January. Raced too keenly when fourth of 9 in maiden at Taunton 22 days ago, but now makes a quick switch to handicaps…

Phoenix Risen (G)

Has returned better than ever this season partnered by Chad Bament, making most at Taunton on his latest outing a month ago. This is tougher, though, having been raised 5 lb up against his younger rivals.

Fair winner at 14f on the Flat and runner-up in handicap at Fontwell (17.7f) back over hurdles in November. Excuses next 2 starts before a good second at Huntingdon (20.7f) in January and ran well on the level last time. Could be in the mi…
