Diadem Stakes Odds
The Diadem Stakes odds for this Sunday's Diadem Staked betting group 2 sprint has Sir Gerry as favourite at 4/1. He is one of several great sprinters in the race which promises to be an exciting affair. Michael Jarvis should have his horse, Ancient Regime in the line up and must be confident after his excellent sixth place in the Group 1 Ladbrokes sprint cup at the Doncaster St Leger meeting. He is stepping down from that class this week and provided the ground is right for him he will take his chance and may be the one to be on. The Jarvis yard is in great from after securing a double at Pontefract on Thursday. Prior to his Ladbroke Sprint run, Ancient Regime had won well in a game performance in a Group 3 at Sandown and has been in good form at home.

The field looks like it will have about 25 runners including Kevin Ryan's, Advanced, who let the favourite backers down with a below par show in the Ayr Gold Cup last weekend. The Richard Hannon yard has two in the race, but we think Edge Closer may be the better of them, he is currently second favourite at 10/1
The Diadem Stakes is a tough and very testing race over the Ascot straight, it is always a great betting race but is usually won by a sprinter with class.Betting 4/1 Sir Gerry, 10/1 Edge Closer, 12/1 Ancient Regime, Perfect Polly, Prime Defender, 14/1 Assertive, Lesson in Humility, Zidane, 16/1 Asset, Diabolical, Elletelle, Intrepid Jack, Utmost Respect.
