Verdict

Celtic Star, Diamond Orchid and King Of Mommur are three against the field in this wide-open claimer and the tentative vote goes to Diamond Orchid. The selection won well in similar grade last time out when defeating Alsayati and, under similar conditions here, he will be hard to beat. Celtic Star rates the main danger. He also won well last time out when defeating Gebora but his best form is with more cut in the ground and he is overlooked on this occasion. King Of Mommur is another that could go well as he is dropping back into this grade but his best efforts have been over further and her is passed over on this occasion. Dante's Battle is another that could go well. He was a fair fifth behind Ask Me What in a better race last time and is another dropping in grade so he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder, Doon Run is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but, in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum, for the winner we return to Diamond Orchid.
