Orange Diamond

The partnership with jockey Jack Andrews has been the making of this horse's recent form. In eight races together, Andrews has steered Orange Diamond to four victories — a 50% win rate that is striking enough to suggest real understanding between rider and horse. That connection matters enormously in racing, and this is a combination worth following whenever they line up together, especially if the destination is Worcester.

Recent form shows a horse in decent form but inconsistent. From its last six races, Orange Diamond has won twice, placed three times, and finished seventh once — a mixed but active campaign that began just a day ago. The stable of T Ellis at Rugby has been in good form this season with 30 winners already sent out, and Orange Diamond slots in as a reliable if unspectacular performer at Class 5 level, where it has won four of fourteen races. At eight years old, this is a horse that knows its trade and has found its level. It may never be a star, but at Worcester, with Andrews in the saddle, it has a genuine chance to win.
