ETHICAL DIAMOND (1) scored in a maiden hurdle (3200m) at Punchestown two runs ago then did a fair job last time, beaten 4 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (3400m) at Cheltenham. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. KABRAL DU MATHAN (4) is a strong first-up performer returning from a layoff of three months. Kicked off with a win at Kempton Park in a 3200m hurdle when last in work. Presents a danger to the top hopes. VALGRAND (11) returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3400m) at Cheltenham, finishing 15th when partnered by today's rider Harry Skelton. Deserves another chance. DYSART ENOS (6) is looking to improve on a last-start eighth in the G1 David Nicholson Mares Hurdle (4000m) at Cheltenham on March 11. Looms as a serious contender in this easier race.
