Verdict

ORANGE DIAMOND lurks on a dangerous mark and has shown a bit more promise over hurdles the last twice so could be worth another chance back down in trip. Hey Mister Dj, Ivane and Our Lil are other key players.

7	Fit from a recent outing in points and left his previous efforts in handicaps (for Alastair Ralph) a long way behind when 5 lengths second at Fontwell (17.7f) last month, beaten only by the well-supported favourite. Good shout if backing that up. 2nd Pick 7 Hey Mister Dj (Ire) Jockey: Tom Broughton Trainer: Barry Brennan J: Tom Broughton T: Barry Brennan	99	-	-	-	15%	6/1

1	Fair ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who has made a very promising start for his new yard, landing Southwell handicap hurdle over this trip in March and placed again back in this sphere at Bangor latest. Different headgear here and can go well again. 3rd Pick 1 Ivane (Fr) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: James Owen J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: James Owen	96	-	-	-	29%	5/2
