The market could prove revealing but the vote goes to Chris Gordon's fair bumper winner DIAMOND EGG who is taken to bounce back in style having got no further than the first on his hurdling bow at Plumpton. Nicky Henderson's Boom Boom can have a big say if a recent wind operation gets him back on track, while hurdling-newcomer Aristobulus merits plenty of respect too given his fair winning form on the level.
