Verdict

This looks to be a match between DIEG MAN and Blottos. The former gets the nod purely because of how impressive his British debut at Sedgefield last time out was, when he justified odds-on favouritism to win by 12L. It looked like there should be plenty more to come and he is taken to get the better of the second-named, who won nicely at the same course last time to get off the mark over hurdles at the second time of asking. If improving on a fair hurdling debut at Taunton last time out Take Em Out could be third best.
  1. Dieg Man
  2. Blottos
  3. Take Em Out
