Verdict

DIVA LUNA remains a good prospect for jumping despite meeting with defeat on her return at Lingfield and she can get off the mark in this sphere now stepped up in trip. Pierrot Jaguen is an interesting rival starting out for Olly Murphy, while Ken Roy looks up to winning races for Paul Nicholls.
