DIOMED DUKE served warning he's ready to strike when second in a higher grade at Newmarket 8 days ago and looks to hold solid claims lining up here from a 1 lb lower mark. The Thames Boatman and Lazzar head up the dangers in the finale.

4	4-y-o who is still relatively lightly raced and he turned in his best effort of the present campaign when second at Newmarket (5f) 8 days ago. That effort suggested he's coming to the boil and he's of definite interest back down in grade. 1st Pick 4 Diomed Duke Jockey: Olivia Haines Trainer: Stuart Williams J: Olivia Haines T: Stuart Williams	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

1	Gained breakthrough on turf at Goodwood (5f) in May and quickly dispelled a lesser effort when second behind one who dominated from the front at Salisbury (5f) 25 days ago. Can go well again from a 1 lb lower mark. 2nd Pick 1 The Thames Boatman Jockey: Finley Marsh Trainer: Richard Hughes J: Finley Marsh T: Richard Hughes	98	-	-	-	25%	3/1

3	Had an excellent winter on the all-weather, winning 4 times. Yet to score on turf but he ran well despite compromising his chance with an unusually tardy start when second in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Changed hands for 15,000 gns since and he's capable of exploiting this mark. 3rd Pick 3 Lazzar (Ire) Jockey: Pat Cosgrave Trainer: Charlie Wallis J: Pat Cosgrave T: Charlie Wallis	95	-	-	-	15%	6/1
