        Verdict

        Most of these arrive out of form but HERMOSA VAQUERA is fit from racing on the Flat and went close at Fontwell when last seen over hurdles. Racing off the same mark today, Gary Moore’s charge gets the vote. Diamond Reflection was placed at Uttoxeter last month but Ladies Dancing was still beaten a long way when placed at Worcester on his latest outing. Ataman has shown little over timber so far but Matravers may improve now handicapping.
