Verdict

NEWBROOK DIAMOND sets the standard and can follow up his belated success at Wexford. There's likely better to come from both Viscountess Nelson and Rebel Tribesman, who stand out as the main dangers.

1	Point winner. Fairly useful form in Irish maidens last season while looking less than straightforward and didn't need to improve when finally off the mark under positive ride at Wexford last time. Longer trip unlikely to be an issue, and a similar performance should be enough to defy a penalty. 1st Pick 1 Newbrook Diamond (Ire) Jockey: Sam Ewing Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: Sam Ewing T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	100	-	-	-	56%	4/5

3	Won sole start in points. Built on hurdling debut promise to land the odds in novice at Perth (2½m) and probably should have defied a penalty at Fontwell (19f) latest.

2	Ex-Irish recruit who finished third in point prior to making successful debut in Aintree bumper. Landed the odds at the third attempt over hurdles in Warwick maiden (19f) in late-May. Longer trip ought to bring about improvement, and he should be in the mix under a penalty. 3rd Pick 2 Rebel Tribesman (Ire) Jockey: Gavin Sheehan Trainer: Jamie Snowden J: Gavin Sheehan T: Jamie Snowden	93	-	-	-	34%	2/1
