This could be too sharp for No Woman No Cry on his first start for three months but recent course winner Diamanpeg has to be of interest, despite a 7lb rise in the weights. Celtic Ballad was beaten in a seller at Lingfield last time, however, while Bach To Back continues to disappoint though has taken on much better company than this in the past. DANSILVER's recent hurdles form is nothing to write home about but he has been in good nick on the all-weather lately and AP McCoy's booking here looks highly significant - Jim Best's gelding gets the vote.
