After posting a very promising first run over hurdles when making the frame over C&D, White Chocolate has likeable claims and should be right on the premises once again. Similarly comments apply to Rarest Diamond who represents the in-form Colin Tizzard yard (5-22 in the last 14 days; 23% strike-rate) and improved from her hurdles debut to finish a respectable third behind a hotpot at Exeter recently. However, a chance is taken on MARILYN MONROE who is well-related and obviously didn't run to the level she is capable of when pulled-up on her hurdles debut. The initial promise she showed in a pair of bumpers suggested she would be well up to winning a race of this nature.
