        Verdict

        Dalmarella Dancer has been in good form of late but this looks a slightly better race and Tempuran has impressed on the Flat the last twice after a spell of steeplechasing. Both will receive competent assistance from the saddle and are respected. Hallingham has delivered three sound performances at Newbury on recent starts in amateur and apprentice contests so should be on the premises in a similar contest whilst Daisy Boy ran well on his first outing for seven months in late May and hasn't been seen since. His yard are renowned for a tilt at the ring and the market may well tell the story with him. JACK OF DIAMONDS has not been at his best this term but has been operating at a higher level. He needs to find extra spark but would have a fine chance off this mark if doing so.
