Riddlestown remains 9lb higher than when scoring over 2m4f here in December. DOLLY DIAMOND is preferred as she ran well when runner-up a in a higher grade hurdle at Ludlow last time and looks capable of opening her account off her current mark. Whispering Speed posted a much better effort when placed at Fakenham recently but Black Lily never looked like threatening the winner when placed on her last couple of outings. Mission Complete continues to slide down the weights without showing any improvement as of yet.
