6/5
Struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in Ireland this summer in 3m Wexford maiden (in cheekpieces) in July. Likely has more to offer for his in-form new trainer.

Fair hurdler who came good at the sixth time of asking in 21.5f Newton Abbot maiden 13 days ago. Steps up in trip again. Prominent showing likely.

5/1
Three chase wins for other yards in the first half of last season but has lost his way badly over fences since, pulling up on 4 of his last 5 starts. Needs a return to hurdles to spark a revival.

11/1
Doncaster bumper winner last winter. Only modest form in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months (beaten 28 lengths when fourth latterly) but it's still early days for him in this sphere.

Forecasts

Sunshine Diamond (6/5), Shakeyatailfeather (7/4), Swapped (5/1), Carved In Stone (11/1), Sox's Sun (250/1)

Verdict

SUNSHINE DIAMOND gets the nod to build on his Wexford success and make a winning start for new trainer Neil Mulholland. Fellow hurdle winner Shakeyatailfeather is the obvious danger.

  1. Sunshine Diamond6/5
  2. Shakeyatailfeather7/4
