4/1
Point winner who made it third time lucky in hunter chases at Stratford in May 2019. Confirmed he retains ability when fourth on belated return at Huntingdon recently but now he needs to build on that

Winning pointer who arrives here on a roll, landing back-to-back Sedgefield handicaps (2m) in recent weeks, the latest emphatically. Big player in hat-trick bid with Skelton booked.

7/1
Maiden who was perked up by a visor initially late last year, twice hitting the frame in course handicaps. However, recent efforts not so inspiring, finishing a hollow second here 9 days ago.

Showed the benefit of his run over further when regaining winning thread at Huntingdon (16.5f) in 8 days ago, responding well when tackled. However, he wouldn't be an obvious follow-up candidate.

Well held in bumpers/novice hurdles and whilst she may have needed her chase debut effort last month (on back of a wind op) she does need to step up to figure. 4 lb "wrong" at weights here.

Forecasts

Costly Diamond (1/1), Downbythestrand (4/1), Torrent Des Mottes (13/2), Shady Oaks (7/1), Larch Hill (14/1), Eclat Des Mottes (18/1), The City Cobbler (28/1)

Verdict

COSTLY DIAMOND arrives having registered back-to-back victories at Sedgefield in recent weeks, the latest an emphatic success 2 weeks ago. The handicapper has reacted but she's clearly on a roll and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick. Eclat des Mottes was in the process of running well when falling late at Catterick in December and is feared, ahead of Downbythestrand.
