In depth

Verdict

Kingsbay and Diamond Sal are the obvious pair to concentrate on here and we will side with the last named, Zaffaran Express may do best of the remainder. Howard Johnson's seven-year-old landed the Aintree bumper last season and made a very pleasing hurdles debut at Newcastle last month finishing second to Miss Academy. The winner went on to finish fourth in one of the best juvenile races this season, so the form is pretty decent and over a more ideal trip Diamond Sal looks the one to beat. Kingsbay landed a novice hurdle at Windsor in November and has since performed with credit in moderate company, she should be the one to chase home the selection. Zaffaran Express is steadily getting the hang of things and may be capable of reaching the frame. Marsh Run has flattered to deceive on numerous occasions but should prove best of the others, however Diamond Sal should come into her own over this trip and is a confident choice.
