Verdict

Several to consider in this competitive handicap and a chance is taken on DIAMOND BAY, who won on his reappearance last year off a higher mark than this and his consistency is another strong selling point. Lightly-raced filly Selenic may well improve now upped in trip with headgear enlisted and she is feared most ahead of Dance Time, who was beaten just a neck when fourth to Shrimp Shady at Wolverhampton and is now 2 lb better off.

3	More good efforts than bad ones since scoring on 2025 reappearance and, now 1 lb below that winning mark, he has to be taken seriously over a C&D where he has tasted success in the past. 1st Pick 3 Diamond Bay Jockey: Sean Levey Trainer: Tom Ward J: Sean Levey T: Tom Ward	98	-	-	-	17%

9	Doubled her tally on second run in a handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) in January. Failed to fire next time but fared better when third back at Newcastle upped to 12.4f recently and this stiffer test could be just what she needs.

7	Good strike rate on the all-weather (6-18) and put in a good shift when a close fourth in the handicap won by Shrimp Shady back from a break at Wolverhampton. 2 lb better off with that rival now and she merits respect. 3rd Pick 7 Dance Time Jockey: Jack Callan Trainer: David Loughnane J: Jack Callan T: David Loughnane	99	-	-	-	7%
