Mc Diamond is entitled to come on for his reappearance spin here and is expected to give a good account under talented 7lb apprentice George Wood, though marginal preference is for CAPTAIN RYAN. The selection is a C&D winner and kept on well from off the pace at Goodwood last time to suggest he would improve for the run. Recent Wolverhampton third Spray Tan, a fellow track and trip winner, is another with place claims.

GINZAN was beaten by under a length off this mark over C&D earlier last month and appears weighted to give another good account. There are plenty of in-form horses in opposition. Edged Out battled on well to score by a neck over 5f at Chepstow last time and the booking of a useful apprentice helps offset her 3lb rise in the ratings. Recent Kempton third Divine Call and grade-dropper Koptoon are others worthy of shortlist inclusion.

CAPTAIN HAWK attracted support prior to his last start at Ayr but was bumped at the start and failed to enjoy a clear run. It might be worth giving him another chance as he shaped with promise when beaten by under six lengths in a conditions race on debut at Ascot. Restore is entitled to come on for his debut run at Lingfield, though bigger dangers may be Clive Cox's newcomer Kodiline and Andrew Balding's debutant Farleigh Mac.

SWEET DRAGON FLY was thwarted by just a nose on debut at Wolverhampton and built on that performance with a creditable fourth at Goodwood last time out. With the benefit of a recent run to her name and now dropped in trip, she gets the vote ahead of the returning Sirajiah, who steps up in trip after posting a creditable effort in defeat over 5f at Chepstow last summer. Artists Model is another to consider now back from a break.

BOGNOR is better known for his all-weather antics but is rated almost a stone lower here and has a first time visor which could bring about the improvement required to gain his first win on grass. Saint Helena was a shock 66/1 winner here three starts ago but ran well again over C&D last time and has to go on the shortlist along with Delaire who will appreciate the drop back in distance and the booking of George Wood who claims a valuable 7lb.

DYNAMO got back on track after unseating at Lingfield with a comfortable success over C&D last week and looks more than capable of continuing his progression under a 6lb penalty. Ubran Space has hit some decent form of late, including a recent win at Chepstow, and is capable of going close again here, while Helmsman ran well in France last time out and also merits consideration.

21:00 Bath (Class 6) (3YO only)

FINAL CHOICE ran well on his return to action when fourth behind Hint Of Grey at Lingfield and is well handicapped if he doesn't fluff the start like last time. Becca Campbell has shaped well on both of her starts this year, including when fifth in the same race the selection ran in last time, and she has solid place claims, while Ochos Rios should benefit from better ground and a 2lb drop in the weights.
