Verdict
DIPLOMATE SIVOLA landed the odds in one of these events at Catterick recently when carrying a penalty. A similar outcome is expected on these terms and Philip Hobbs’ charge can go in again. Summons To Court looks next best on an earlier second in a maiden hunters chase and is weighted to get the better of Kit Barry while In Arrears has won three point-to-points and is preferred to Kalastar as she debuts under Rules.
