Although unable to justify favouritism when finishing fourth on his hurdles bow at Haydock earlier this month, STAR OF DIAMONDS should have learned plenty from that experience. Any natural improvement should make Emma Lavelle's gelding tough to beat and he is fancied to repel chief rival Grand Geste. He finished ahead of the selection in third at Haydock and is expected to go well, despite being a bit more exposed. Pike Road is the pick of the remainder.

STAR OF DIAMONDS made a promising start to his career under Rules when fourth at Haydock earlier in the month and is put forward as the answer with improvement on the cards. Grand Geste seemed suited by the step up to this trip when finishing narrowly ahead of the selection last time, with Andy Amo also of firm interest now upped in distance.

The suggestion is STAR OF DIAMONDS, who shaped very well when fourth on his rules debut at Haydock four weeks ago.

A 6lb rise in the ratings for Fresh Speculation's breakthrough victory at Ffos Las last month shouldn't prevent another bold bid, although he may be worth taking on up in class. With that in mind, BENASSI makes slightly more appeal after returning to form when runner-up at Leicester 26 days ago. Olly Murphy's charge scored on his sole visit to this track and a third career triumph could be on the cards. Don Hollow is also noted.

HAARAR is readily preferred here, having been unlucky not to finish closer when second earlier this month, and he can go one better today. Course-winner Benassi is respected on his return to this venue and Fresh Speculation seems to be improving.

Fresh Speculation has more to come but preference is for HAARAR who has looked in good heart on the Flat and over hurdles of late.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Although point-to-point winner HILL OF SCARRIFF hasn't cut much ice in three qualifying runs over hurdles, the daughter of Schiaparelli makes plenty of appeal going up in distance. An opening mark of 83 looks workable and she may have too much for last-time-out winners Twp Stori and All Under Control. The latter is feared most after showing a willing attitude to score at Fontwell earlier this month.

ALL UNDER CONTROL took a big step forward for her new handler when getting off the mark at Fontwell last time and a 5 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Course winner Just Chasing May heads the list of dangers, although Clovis Boy, Twp Stori and Moor End all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

One with significant potential is MOOR END, who moves up in trip after a very promising seasonal/handicap debut over 2m4f this month.

PORT OR STARBOARD hasn't won for the best part of two years, but invariably runs well and made a pleasing enough return from the sidelines when fourth here recently. Granted natural progression, he can take advantage of a sliding handicap mark, although Eaton Anne has undergone wind surgery since flopping at Plumpton and better is anticipated. Dropping back from 2m4f could see Present Fair in a better light, while Dickens has to be considered too.

EATON ANNE is bang there on the pick of his form and dangerous if a breathing operation has had the desired effect, with Dickens another to consider.

Consistent 7yo PORT OR STARBOARD (nap) ran well this month, after a one-year layoff, and is taken to exploit a career-low hurdle mark.

CROAGH PATRICK deservedly regained the winning thread with a taking performance over further at Carlisle last time out, and an 8lb rise for that success looks manageable. He can follow up, with Dusautior looking best placed to chase him home having undergone wind surgery since a creditable placed effort at Carlisle. A determined winner in March at Chepstow when last in action, Shady B is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

This looks an open event with the vote going to GROVE ROAD making his first start over fences for his current stable. Jo Lescribaa offered plenty to work on when third on his chase bow/return at Ludlow and is another to consider, while Myfanwy's Magic is an interesting chase debutant.

Dusautior has to be respected on his form with Croagh Patrick at Carlisle but ALI STAR BERT might be the one today.
Class & Speed Card
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

KNOCKANORE opened his account over fences with an impressive success over course and distance. Ryan Potter's charge has scope for further improvement as a chaser and could prove difficult to beat with a conditional jockey helping to ease the burden of a 10lb rise. I'm Ravenous made a bold bid to land a hat-trick when runner-up at Doncaster and another good account looks on the cards, while Lime Drop is in with a shout too.

KNOCKANORE returned to the pick of his form when opening his account in a C&D handicap 11 days ago and a repeat should see him go close again for all the handicapper has certainly had his say. I'm Ravenous and chasing-debutants Accidental Legend and Itsnoteasy are another couple to note.

Preference is for I'M RAVENOUS, who made a bright start to his chasing career last month and probably still has potential.

Annie Hathaway showed plenty of promise when second at Warwick on her racecourse debut. She should confirm superiority over Diamonds Galore, who could only manage sixth on that occasion but is a likely improver. A winner between the flags, LETS MINGLE faced a tough task in a competitive bumper at Aintree in October. This could prove more her level and she gets the vote.

ANNIE HATHAWAY found an experienced stablemate too good on debut at Warwick last month but she beat the rest easily enough and a repeat of that may well suffice. Newcomers are feared most, headed by Harmony Heights and A Path To Ronda before market clues.

Recent events suggest ROCK SENSATION bumped into a very good filly when a clear second on her Irish point debut in March.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
