Fontwell winner Strawberry Hill unseated at the last when still in contention at Huntingdon on his latest start over a year ago. But he may need this and DIAMOND TAMMY can take advantage. He finished second at Leicester off today's mark last month and that looks stronger form than Moonlight Maggie's recent placed effort at Catterick. Bobby Dove has made the frame in his last three starts over hurdles and is preferred to Green Du Ciel now back over the larger obstacles.
