Forecasts

Dysart Diamond (6/5), Santana Plessis (7/4), Dare To Flare (7/1), Spiorad Saoirse (9/1), Cloak Of Darkness (10/1), Dave And Bernie (10/1), Albuquerque (14/1), Saucy Yeats (14/1), Del Campo (20/1), Present Rock (50/1), Different Beat (100/1), Ballinacrae (100/1), Impulsive Way (125/1), Where's Bunny (150/1), Stormy Watar (150/1), Abidingbytherules (150/1)

DYSART DIAMOND returned to make it fourth time lucky in bumpers at Limerick 24 days ago and, given she's the type to make her mark over timber, is fancied to continue the good work for her powerful stable. Santana Plessis has been knocking on the door in similar events and is the lead threat, ahead of Cloak of Darkness.
