Verdict
Paul Nicholls’ Diamond Guy had a few entries this week so it may be significant that he comes here. Kebir De La Vis and Alma Mix are both from yards who do well in this sort of race and SHALL WE GO NOW is another. Harry Fry’s four-year-old is by leading NH sire Midnight Legend and a full brother to useful hurdler Midnight Shot. He was bought for £37,000 last year and will be expected to recover some of that outlay sooner rather than later. Rhaegar is a half-brother to chaser Stellar Notion and runs in the colours of Diana Whateley. He changed hands for 110,000 euros in 2014 and is another who should have a future.
