In depth
Verdict
David O'Meara has just one runner at the meeting, Eye Smiling, who has shown potential and makes her handicap debut. Rodney Le Roc stayed on strongly to finish a close second to Rocketeer at Wolverhampton and can reverse the form on 3lb better terms while Spurofthemoment looks the type to improve this campaign and makes her handicap bow from a lowly mark. The latter remark that also applies to the lightly-raced pair Gigi's Beach and My Sister Jo but it's about time SPARKLING DIAMOND was winning. She's run three times at this level on this track and been placed each time.
