Dinarius has the joint highest BHA rating of these having been highly tried in the four-year-old hurdle at Aintree's national meeting last season and running creditably in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen on his reappearance but he may have to settle for minor honours again with preference for CAILIN NA RI, who gets the vote over Rockys Choice. Tim Vaughan's gelding was formerly trained in Ireland and disappointing on his debut for new connections when odds on but beaten into fifth place behind Aypeeyes in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot last month. He may be better than he showed that day but needs to improve dramatically on that effort to trouble the selection. James Lambe's Bannville was beaten some way out on his rules debut at Cartmel recently and of more interest may be Poppy Parade, who has shown promise in bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies and now makes his debut over timber. The vote though goes to Cailin Na Ri, who lost no caste in defeat behind Billie Magern, who runs in the previous race, and she is taken to go one better today.
