Verdict

Ela d'Argent was a one mile winner on the flat and is confidently expected to make a winning debut over hurdles in the hands of Tony McCoy as he goes on any ground and will have been well schooled. Ashton Vale is another to consider on his hurdling bow he was placed on the flat and ran as if this trip would suit. Diamond Darren has shown form over hurdles he was s third behind Sunridge Fairy last time out and that horse has won again since. Dizzy Tart regressed on the flat but if the hurdles have sharpened her up she could go well. Risker is also worth a look in the market as he has shown a modicum of ability on the flat and is from a shrewd yard.
