Diomed Stakes Betting Odds

There are ten runners entered for the Diomed Stakes, with Epsom Racecourse having an action-packed racecard leading up to the Derby. It’s Docklands who is the current favourite to triumph in this Group 3 encounter, with Harry Eustace training a runner who was runner-up on a seasonal debut and with the potential to go one better.

Persica has a victory on the board this term and Richard Hannon saddles a four-year-old who will have Ryan Moore riding. Geography has claimed a success this season and the four-year-old could be a backable price. Royal Dubai looks also capable of hitting the frame and there could be more to come from Ice Max and Royal Playwright.

2025 Diomed Stakes Betting Tips

The bookmakers aren’t taking any chances with their odds for Docklands when it comes to Saturday’s Diomed Stakes. The horse was able to finish second out of eleven runners in a previous race, with the 15/8 favourite producing a solid effort at Ascot at the end of April. This came after running reasonably well in the Hong Kong Mile.

The horse was a 60/1 outsider on that occasion and was only six lengths off the pace, with the runner also outperforming his odds in the TAB Champions Stakes at Flemington. The starting price was 19/1 and there was only six lengths separating the horse from winner and odds-on favourite Via Sistina.

Persica has run three times this season. The four-year-old was dead last at Newbury in the middle of May. The 22/1 shot found the going too tough in the Lockinge Stakes, although that came after a mid-April success at Newmarket. There was plenty to like about a two and a half length success in the Earl of Sefton Stakes.

Geography was able to win on his seasonal debut. The German raider now heads over to England hoping to make an impression on the big stage. It’s hard to marry form in his native land although there was a success in Dusseldorf last time out. Royal Dubai has run three times this season and could be another one for the shortlist.

2024 Betfred Diomed Stakes Tips

Maljoom has rock solid credentials when it comes to the Betfred Diomed Stakes, with the five-year-old trained by William Haggas and the horse was third out of five runners at Ascot last time out. In the Paradise Stakes, the 2/1 favourite wasn’t able to deliver the goods, although the runner was able to perform well in the Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Joel Stakes.

Embesto is a four-year-old that goes for Roger Varian, with the horse last seen performing well at Newmarket in April. In the bet365 Earl of Sefton Stakes, the runner weakened in the final furlong although there was a bright effort in the Qatar Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp over one mile on good to soft ground.

Highland Avenue is a six-year-old whose last three performances took place at Meydan. Sent off at odds of 33/1 in the Group 2 Singspiel Stakes, the horse outperformed his odds when finishing sixth out of fourteen runners and that came after a solid showing in the Jebel Hatta, with a victory in the Earthlight Darley Stakes coming at Newmarket in October.

Regal Reality is an older runner, with the nine-year-old having finished fourth and third in his past two outings. At Chester in the Huxley Stakes, the horse was only beaten by Passenger and Israr. This came after finishing a credible fourth in the bet365 Earl of Sefton Stakes over one mile and one furlong.

2023 Diomed Stakes Betting Tips

The majority of the field lining up for the 2023 Diomed Stakes have a lively chance of securing a victory, with Highland Avenue a talented five-year-old who has performed well in his career to date. Running in the Gordon Richards Stakes on 7 May, the runner finished third out of five runners and this was a Group 3 contest was competitive.

It’s unlikely that Highland Avenue will find a competitor as strong as the front two in that race, with Adayar and Anmaat winner and runner-up on that occasion, with the Charlie Appleby-trained charge having come back after a break that extended to more than a year, with two runs at Meydan proving to be previously underwhelming.

Al Mubhir is a four-year-old who will be ridden by Tom Marquand and there was a solid performance at Haydock last time out. Finishing third out of six runners, the horse performed reasonably well in the Pertemps Network Spring Trophy Stakes at Haydock Park, with the horse having previously won a handicap race at Leicester.

Reach For The Moon proved to be underwhelming at Newmarket in the Earl of Sefton Stakes, while there was also a below-par effort at Saint-Cloud. However, there was a strong showing at Ascot in the Hampton Court Stakes, with the King-owned horse potentially coming back into form at the right time of the flat season.
