Diamond Koda was last seen over 3m here in December and did not see out the trip. The 7yo has an otherwise consistent record over today's distance with 4/7 second-place finishes. He is on a career-low mark and has dropped to a Class 5 handicap for the first time in his career. Acts on the ground and has clearly shown enough ability to win a race like today's. Double-figure odds offer some each-way value, with a four-place payout offered by most firms.

Star Vantage gets this 3m trip and has travelled strongly in his last four races, only failing to find enough at the finish. The ground was much softer in the last three, and his record suggests he prefers it good to soft, which he gets today. He receives plenty of weight from the first five in the early betting market, four of whom are stepping up to 3m for the first time. If there's good pace, which looks likely with a few wanting to be prominent, it will suit the 9yo who likes to come from off the pace. With the rider's claim he is on a fair mark, and 28/1 offers some good each-way value, as the longer run-in from the home turn should suit his style well.

Ferrari have an opportunity this year after getting off to a good start to win the Constructors Championship. Red Bull are transitioning somewhat this season and may struggle to get everything right in time. Mercedes and McLaren are the ones that could push them for it. Ferrari are led by Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc and are expected to use their experience to win this.
