    In depth

    Verdict

    Happy Diva deservedly got off the mark over fences at Ludlow last month and makes more appeal than The Nipper. Warren Greatrex’ mare has a double penalty and was a lucky winner at Exeter in December before winning a match when outsider at Wincanton last month. RONS DREAM jumped much better at Chepstow than she had on her only previous try over fences. She has a higher hurdles rating than the two previous winners in this so has to be the selection.
