Verdict

DILIZAN was marginally the best of these on the Flat but has always looked a jumper in the making. He's a half-brother to winning hurdlers Dirar and Dibella and Brian Ellison's charge can score at the first time of asking over timber. Southwell winner Pelican Rock should go well if taking to hurdling while Angel Warrior is worth a second glance in the betting as trainer Ben Haslam won this with Flat recruit Dance For Livvy last year.
