Verdict

NACHTGEIST failed to meet expectations when a gambled-on favourite on debut for the Murphy yard last month but the step up in trip here promises to suit and he's worth keeping the faith with. Orange Diamond ran well over C&D last time and has to be respected again after an eye-catching stable switch, whilst Boskill Borden has also done well since the visor has been applied and can reach the podium over C&D for the third start in a row.

2	Useful at best on Flat and fair form over hurdles for Anthony Charlton and Gary & Josh Moore. Backed into odds-on favouritism making debut for this yard at Market Rasen yard but could only finish fifth. Greater test of stamina should suit here and he's highly respected. 1st Pick 2 Nachtgeist (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	100	-	-	-	42%

5	Just poor form for Clive Boultbee-Brooks but at least ended time with that trainer on a positive note, finishing second in a C&D handicap hurdle (good to soft) 65 days ago. Since changed hands for £15,000 and he's respected making debut for new yard. 2nd Pick 5 Orange Diamond (Fr) Jockey: Jack Andrews Trainer: Tom Ellis J: Jack Andrews T: Tom Ellis	98	-	-	-	25%

3	Has been in good form since the visor has been applied, arriving on the back of a pair of placed efforts over C&D. Mark unchanged from his third here 10 days ago and he should be in the mix again. 3rd Pick 3 Boskill Borden (Ire) Jockey: Shane Fenelon Trainer: David Rees J: Shane Fenelon T: David Rees	97	-	-	-	15%
