Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: J S McGarvey| T: T Foley| OR: 90

Hooded for 1st time, shaped as if needing the run when tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.7f, good to soft, 16/1) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Visored for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere.

28/1

Forecasts

Dessie's Diamond (13/8), Blanketontheground (7/2), Stoneyford Boy (5/1), More Info (17/2), Lauderdale Lady (9/1), Moll Dote (10/1), Miss Oriental (14/1), Johanna Yeats (28/1), Barangarou (28/1), Le Figaro Faoudel (28/1), Lough Sewdy (100/1)

DESSIE'S DIAMOND built on the promise of his previous run when finishing second at Fairyhouse last Friday. Provided this doesn't come too soon, a reproduction of that effort may be enough for him to gain his first victory. Stoneyford Boy took a step forward when sixth at Galway last time and gets the vote for second, ahead of Le Figaro Faoudel and Moll Dote.
