Verdict

It could be worth chancing LECALE'S DIAMOND, who hasn't cut much ice in four starts over hurdles but the fact that he was runner-up on his sole start in maiden points augurs well ahead of this switch to fences. Another potentially positive factor is this significant step up in trip (all four of his hurdles starts were over 2m, which was probably an inadequate trip for him). Jerisk Star will be a threat if getting round this time and Aclass is also accorded respect.
