Winning pointer who exceeded market expectations when runner-up from the front on Newton Abbot hurdles debut. Below form both starts since, though, including on return at Chepstow.

Sedgefield bumper winner who returned (on first outing since leaving Jimmy Moffatt) with an improved third at Aintree. Went backwards at Huntingdon but is bred to do well over obstacles.

9/4
Bumper winner who was held back by her jumping when coming up just short on her Huntingdon hurdles debut (19.6f) in October. Folded as if amiss at Stratford next time but worth another chance.

Getaway mare who shaped as if needing the run when well held in bumper at Warwick on debut 26 days ago. Hood added on this switch to hurdling significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Good Look Charm (13/8), I Spy A Diva (9/4), Tokara (9/2), Dancing Dani (17/2), Salcombe (17/2), On Time (28/1), Start Point (66/1), Mizz Moondance (125/1)

Verdict

I SPY A DIVA had looked a decent prospect prior to folding as if amiss at Stratford, so she has to be worth another chance back from a small break in a race lacking depth. Fellow bumper winner Good Look Charm is very much bred for this game and is respected, along with newcomer Tokara, who is a sister to smart hurdler Eskylane.
