Golans Choice made a promising start over hurdles when second at Carlisle last month. Looking Well also posted a good effort when third at Ayr on his hurdling bow but DONNA'S DIAMOND is preferred. Chris Grant's charge finished runner-up over track and trip three weeks ago and that looks stronger form than Karingo's second at the same meeting. Kingswell Theatre went close in a bumper last time and makes his hurdling debut.
