Verdict
Last month's Musselburgh second Shine A Diamond is fancied to confirm earlier Hexham running with Milan Royale on today's revised terms but might find one too good again. Mighty Cliché had been knocking on the door prior to his latest run at Ayr but seems better over further. Be A Dreamer's two recent runs have been over 2m4f so we'll take a chance on the fitness of ROSQUERO. Bob Johnson's charge hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Kelso in November but this is only his third run over fences and he's not badly treated on his best form over hurdles.
