Diamond sparkles as sales date approaches.

Byline: Will O'Hanlon

ROYAL DIAMOND, who looks the type to make up into a decent jumper, enhanced his sales value when completing a four-timer in impressive style under Seb Sanders in the 1m6f handicap.

The son of King's Best, a typical product of the Sir Mark Prescott assembly line, had been raised 5lb for his latest win at Ffos Las but showed how fast he is progressing by hacking up here. Sanders sent the 4-7 shot clear of his four rivals off the home turn and was looking round for non-existent dangers a furlong out, and the favourite was good value for his ten-length margin of victory over Ramora.

"Seb was very impressed with him and says he will be able to go on and win better races," said part-owner Brian Rimmer. "But it will be up to Sir Mark what happens now as I believe the horse is going up to the autumn sales. This was therefore a very timely win for him."

Norfolk trainer George Prodromou sent out his first winner in 169 days when 12-1 shot Naheell landed the 1m1f handicap under Saleem Golam, the son of Lomitas just holding the late charge of Snow Dancer, who got going too late after meeting trouble in running approaching the furlong mark.

Naheell, a cast-off from Michael Jarvis's stable, showed his first signs of ability for Prodromou when second in a Folkestone maiden last time and he has evidently now found his range.

"That was a good run at Folkestone and I think that, with a bit of luck, there are more races to be won with him this year," said Prodromou's travelling head groom Paul Ferguson. "He certainly gives the impression there is plenty more in the tank."

Misaro has not enjoyed much luck of late, but things dropped just right for him in the 5f handicap as he came from off a strong pace to score under David Probert.

"He's had some desperate draws of late and you just can't win when you're drawn something like 12 of 12 on a turning track," said winning trainer Ron Harris. "He had a fair draw tonight and the strong gallop suited him, because he ideally wants an extra furlong these days."

Harris had double hopes with Swinbrook in the 6f seller, but this one had to settle for second behind Titus Gent, from the in-form John Ryan yard. Titus Gent, Ryan's third winner in the past fortnight, was backed from 12-1 to 9-1 and won by threequarters of a length under a strong ride from Kirsty Milczarek.

Harris still went home with a second winner, securing Titus Gent on a bid of 7,000gns at the auction.

Milczarek rounded off a profitable evening's work by completing a 169-1 double with victory on At Wits End in the 1m1f maiden. The James Toller-trained horse benefited from the step up in trip after two runs at a mile as he kept on stoutly to score from Burma Rock and Demeanour.

Star performance Kirsty Milczarek, who had gone three weeks without a winner, made up for lost time with a 169-1 double on Titus Gent and At Wits End
