ART OF DIPLOMACY (1) found the frame two back in a steeplechase (4800m) at Wetherby then again ran a good race to finish third last time out, beaten 3 lengths, in a steeplechase (4700m) at Newbury. Ready to find winning form. UOKHUN (7) impressed when a winner in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh two back then finished seventh more recently in a hurdle (4800m) at Musselburgh, beaten 6 lengths. Certainly worth another chance. MY GIFT TO YOU (2) was most recently at the races four months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (4860m) at this track, beaten 6 lengths. This looks a nice race to kick off. BALLELA BLAZE (10) did a good job to clock-in third two back in a hurdle (4000m) at Sedgefield. Backed that up with a sound second in a hurdle (5020m) at Plumpton 12 days ago, beaten half a length. Expect the good recent form will stack up.
