  Recently struggling in form, Diamond Soars returns to a more suitable class today. A return to his best could see him contend effectively in this field.
• Tactical Command (Odds: 10.00) Unibet
  Tactical Command’s victory in February indicates potential, though recent performances suggest he needs to overcome his revised rating to be competitive today.
• King Invincible (Odds: 6.50) Bet365
  Despite disappointing recent outings, King Invincible has shown flashes of ability that could translate into a better performance with the right conditions.
• Modest Gentleman (Odds: 3.50) Bet365
  Coming off a strong second-place finish on stable debut, Modest Gentleman appears to have more to offer. This could be a prime opportunity for him to break through.
• The Good Deal (Odds: 12.00) BetVictor
  The Good Deal has struggled off his current mark and may find this draw challenging. He will need to improve significantly to make an impact.
• Multimore (Odds: 4.00) Bet365
  Showing signs of returning to form, Multimore is well-placed from stall 1 to potentially snap a lengthy losing streak. His proximity to winning suggests he’s a contender.
• Island Surprise (Odds: 20.00) Unibet
  A course and distance winner in a higher grade last season, Island Surprise has not yet hit those heights this term but could surprise if returning to form.
• Craig’s Master (Odds: 25.00) BetVictor
  A change of environment has yet to yield the desired results for Craig’s Master. He needs a significant turnaround to challenge here.
• August Moon (Odds: 12.00) Bet365
  August Moon has been largely inconsistent and needs to show more than he has recently to factor today, despite showing brief sparks of form earlier in the year.
• Six Best Friends (Odds: 14.00) Unibet
  Six Best Friends has not made an impact since his debut season and would need a substantial improvement to become competitive in this race.
• Happily Friends (Odds: 14.00) BetVictor

  Coming off two disappointing performances, Cordyceps One returns to turf where he has previously performed better. This race could see him return to form.

• Brave Witness (Odds: 15.00) Unibet

• Fruity Warrior (Odds: 12.00) Bet365
  Still a maiden after six races, Fruity Warrior is struggling to find form. He’ll need a significant turnaround to make an impact.

Eagle Run and Mighty Star are his closest challengers, each coming into this race with form that suggests they could take top honors. Keep an eye on Dragon Delight, who might find the extra push he needs to get across the line first today.
