We send two to Market Rasen on Wednesday, where the ground is currently described as good.
Following wind surgery, on his third bumper start, He's A Diamond showed more than before when not stopping over two miles at Newcastle 23 days ago when finishing fourth. Prior to joining us he had finished second in an Irish point to point from two starts. He now makes his hurdles debut in the maiden, over the extended two miles and four furlongs at 2.15.pm, with Brian Hughes retaining the ride.
Bodygroove got his act together in no uncertain terms when getting off the mark at Wetherby eight days ago, for which he escapes a penalty due to that being a conditional jockeys race. Bodygroove who is a keen going type who wears a hood in his races, settled well over that two miles, he now steps up a further four furlongs, which providing he settles as well again, should be a more suitable trip for this stayer on the flat. It goes without saying that Bodygroove is on a winning mark, and he will run at 2.45.pm, in the 0-95 novices handicap hurdle, over the extended two miles and four furlongs, with Josha Thompson, who won on him eight days ago, retaining the ride.
