Super Nomad, Diceman and Hunters Tweed could be the three to concentrate on here, with the latter just taking preference. Peter Beaumont¿s charge bounced back to form earlier this month when landing a competitive chase over course and distance, beating Dream On Willie and today¿s rival Super Nomad. He won with a little bit in hand on that occasion and with no difference in the weight concession should confirm the form with Mick Easterby¿s runner. So for the main rival to our selection it has to be Diceman. Sue Smith has her string in excellent form and this son of Supreme Leader managed too victories in November before crashing out at Doncaster earlier this month. On a strict form-line with Dream On Willie it should be very close between Diceman and Hunters Tweed, but with further improvement expected the latter may just have the edge.
