      Verdict

      Il Sicario has been placed over hurdles since winning a claimer at Leicester in June but Choral Clan’s more recent win came in a plating race at Newcastle. JACK OF DIAMONDS looks to have the stronger form on his close-up third at Wolverhampton and Rossa Ryan’s allowance should give him the edge in this. Thaqaffa never threatened when placed over track and trip last time while Anna Medici has something to prove over this longer trip having won over a mile here last month.
