An intriguing novices' chase which wouldn't look out of place at a more prestigious track. The classy Donna's Diamond is a far stronger horse these days and having reportedly schooled well is massively respected on his first start over the larger obstacles for over two years. Top Ville Ben should also make his mark in this division during the course of the season, but a clear preference is for the strapping SENOR LOMBARDY. He was only ever marking time over hurdles, and with time and experience could well shape up into one of the best novice chasers in the northern region.
