ETHICAL DIAMOND (18) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 12/04/2025, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 3200m in the G2 Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr. Capable of playing a major role. HAND OF GOD (7) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 10 lengths into ninth over 1800m at Newmarket (Rowley). Has a decent second up record. Expected to run well. ALMOSH'HER (14) has enjoyed a let-up of five-and-a-half weeks since he won when resuming over 2400m at York, scoring by a head. Unbeaten at this journey and is among the leading chances. FRENCH DUKE (12) returns after a spell of ten months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2000m at Newbury. Makes plenty of appeal.
