In depth
Verdict
Diamond Rock won at Stratford in October and would have a chance if anywhere near that form but the handicapper now appears to have a grip on Wildmoor Boy. Welluptoscratch and Falcon's Reign are returning from a break and Peterpanopirateman has an even longer absence to overcome. STARLIGHT COURT can prevail in a race that won’t take much winning. Dan Skelton’s charge appears to be improving and is a lot less exposed than the majority of these. Celestial Magic has been placed in five of his starts over hurdles so the Haydock fourth looks the danger.
