        Verdict

        Louloumills was receiving plenty of weight from the winner when second in a novices' handicap at Sedgefield last time and is worth opposing in this. The ex-Irish Sharp Response has his first start for Sue Smith while Cloud Monkey has been well beaten on the Flat since his second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham. Deise Diamond was beaten 20 lengths at Uttoxeter but has scope and may have a fitness advantage over Improved. No one could begrudge TELL THE TALE a first success. Placed three times in bumpers, he was easily beaten by an odds-on chance on his hurdles debut at Plumpton but should prove better than that in time.
