Formscan - An eye-catcher when keeping on for fourth in the County Hurdle, ETHICAL DIAMOND should be primed for this assignment off 1lb higher. He still looks well treated compared to some on his Flat form. Saved for this since a strong runner-up effort in a valuable handicap at Windsor in January, Kabral Du Mathan must be thereabouts for in-form connections, as well as Bunting and Valgrand, who are better than what they have produced recently.
