Hidden Diamond has jumped adequately in his three starts over fences but is one-paced and has yet to win a race of any description. Fairwood Massini attempted to make all at Downpatrick but was headed at the last. That was an improved effort and he should go well again while Portrait King has always looked the type to do better when tackling fences. SOUVENIR ROYAL hasn't had much racing but this winning point-to-pointer has produced two fine races over fences and gets the vote to make a winning reappearance. Twelfth Of Never is still a maiden after 19 starts but should be scoring soon over fences judging by his runs earlier this year.
