COSTLY DIAMOND has won three times over fences since last seen over hurdles. He’s undergone wind surgery since going close at Sedgefield in April and has won under today’s conditional in the past. Several look likely to pose a threat judged on recent efforts with Dylan's Sea Song beaten less than a length at Market Rasen and She's A Novelty not beaten far when fourth at Ludlow. Karannelle found only one too good at Ffos Las and is another to consider.
