Friday, June 20, 2025FlatClass 21m3f

ETHICAL DIAMOND failed to land a gamble in this race 12 months ago, but he still fared best of those that raced up with the pace and what he has done over hurdles in the meantime suggests he remains well treated in this sphere. Hand of God made a low-key return at Newmarket but he's worth another chance having been most impressive at this meeting last year, with the unexposed Almosh'her and likeable Stressfree completing the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Developed into a useful hurdler after switching to Willie Mullins, producing a career best when fourth in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Unable to justify market confidence in this last year but still fared best of those ridden prominently. Obvious chance.

    Verdict
    Justified support at Southwell on debut before only just denied under a penalty at Kempton. Resumed winning ways with a useful effort on handicap bow there in March and continued his steep upward curve when making a winning turf/stable debut at York last month. More to come but drawn widest.

    Lightly-raced 4-y-o who took his form to another level when impressive winner of Golden Gates Handicap at this meeting 12 months ago. Disappointed when well backed at Newmarket on first run since (had been gelded) 7 weeks ago but well worth another chance over a trip he should stay.

    Verdict
    Caught the eye at this meeting last year when sixth in King George V handicap and duly confirmed as much when opening his account (hooded) at Goodwood following month. Good second back here in September but off since (has been gelded). Remains unexposed.

    Useful gelding. Winless since debut but made a positive start for this yard when second of 8 in minor event at Gowran on return. However, turned over at odds-on at Killarney next time, albeit conceding first run. Opening mark looks high enough. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

    Most progressive last year, making a winning handicap debut over C&D in July. Better form in defeat since, including when 3½ lengths fifth of 6 to Illinois in Ormonde Stakes at Chester 6 weeks ago. Unraced on going firmer than good.

    Smart gelding who made a winning return in 14-runner handicap at Kempton in March. Backed that up with good third in listed race there following month but back on a career-high mark and overall record suggests he's better on AW. Headgear back on.

    Didn't last long over hurdles for Lucinda Russell but firmly back on track returned to the Flat when making a winning start for this yard at Bath (10.2f, heavy) in October. Unlucky not to make a winning reappearance at Chester 6 weeks ago so warrants respect.

    Smart performer in France for Andre Fabre, adding a fourth career success to his tally in minor event at Deauville (9.5f) last summer. Offered something to work on sent handicapping on return/debut for this yard at Chester 6 weeks ago but mark/draw are the negatives.

    Useful sort who looked a little rusty back on the Flat after 8 weeks off when last of 6 at Kempton in February. Found only one too good in a Warwick novice hurdle the following month but was well held in a competitive Sandown handicap on most recent outing. Visor on for 1st time. RESERVE.
