Verdict

Dinarelli, Made In Japan, Fleet Street and Dileer look to the main protagonists in this novices hurdle and we will side with the latter. The selection made a promising hurdling debut in a strong race over this course and distance when finishing fifth behind Albuhera. He is bound to improve for that run and he could be the value pick in a competitive race. Fleet Street is the obvious danger and he was a good third behind Cardenas at Newbury last time. He had previously won well on his hurdling debut when beating Ile Michel, but he is steadily rising in the weights now so could be worth taking on. Dinarelli is a Martin Pipe recruit from France so he will be interesting if the market speaks in his favour, while Made In Japan showed enough on his hurdling debut at Wincanton when third behind Howle Hill to make him a leading contender. This is a competitive event which could prove to be very informative for the future, but Dileer gets the tentative vote.
