Diomed EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands B, C And D) (EBF Restricted Qualifier) (GBB Race)

£60,000 breeze-up 2yo; last of seven when weakening on his debut at Hamilton (5f, good) last month but he was a very well-backed favourite that day; hood/tongue-tie added and it will interesting to see if his backers return.

Half-brother to four winners, most notably Ice Max (7f/1m including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 114); 22-1 for his debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but he showed speed before finishing fourth of 12; drop to 5f is unlikely to pose a problem and he's almost certainly capable of better.

Bought for 60,000gns (breeze-up) in May; attracted significant support for his debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) but was outpaced at halfway, finishing sixth of nine; might be sharper this time; turf debut.

Low-key debut when 33-1 eighth of nine at Wolverhampton (AW) in May but stepped up on that when sixth of ten at Windsor (also 5f, good to firm; 80-1) last month, despite being slowly away; will need to come on again.

Pulled hard and didn't see out 6f on his Chepstow debut but he's improved since dropped to 5f, finishing second at Nottingham (good; third won next time) and Windsor (good to firm; fifth beaten a head since); sets a clear standard on the latter form and Oisin Murphy maintains the partnership.
