Diligent Resdev

9st 7lb

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now.

J: Billy Garritty

T: Michael & David Easterby

Won the 2024 Ayr Bronze Cup in fine style (6f, good); 0-5 in 2025 but looked to retain all his ability; conditions won't be an issue and he has run well first time out in each of his seasons of racing; chance.

Lightly raced 4yo who won the Ayr Bronze Cup last September and has run well in defeat on all four starts this season, most recently third of 13 at York (7f, good to firm); there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Bulldog Drummond

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Patrick Owens

Two 6f AW wins for previous yard last winter but it hasn't been easy since winning for this one at Newmarket in August and, after getting closer at Wolverhampton last month, things never went his way from a wide draw at Southwell; needs more weight off his back.

Slipped in the weights and back to form in refitted blinkers at Wolverhampton last time; drawn on the outside this time, though, so has to show that can be backed up.

Improved to win two C&D handicaps early last year; looked capable of even better but not seen since; new yard (same owner) among the winners and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Finally got it together after a few costly defeats here when winning over C&D a month ago; Billy Loughnane, up for the first time that afternoon, retains the ride but he'll need a bit more upped 6lb.

Verdict

Dubai Hills and Bulldog Drummond are comparatively exposed, with a combined record of 0-13, but they bring the best form. MOKU MANU, who looks likely to build on her Beverley debut effort, is an appealing alternative while Latama (second choice) is an interesting contender on her debut for Richard Fahey.[Steve Boow]
