Daamberdiplomat¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Colin Keane| T: J P Murtagh| OR: 90| CD

2/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 16 days ago, left with a lot to do following an uncharacteristically very slow start. Up to playing his part again in bid to follow up last year's win in this race.

17/2

Latest win over C&D in November and confirmed himself better than ever when second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Easy to envisage him in the shake-up again in present groove.

Current Option²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 77

10/1

Fairly useful gelding. Good third of 10 in minor event at this course (7f, 14/1) 21 days ago, going well when forced to switch final 1f. Capable of exploiting this sort of mark with his yard going along well.

50/1

4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Laytown in September. 80/1, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, never dangerous. Needs to step up again if he's to figure.

9/1

C&D winner. 11/2, respectable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, not quicken final 1f. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Daamberdiplomat (2/1), Mehman (10/3), Harry's Bar (9/2), Dontspoilasale (17/2), James Henry (9/1), Current Option (10/1), Inishmot Prince (12/1), Hero Of The Hour (22/1), Dream Today (28/1), Jered Maddox (50/1), Superior Force (50/1)

A good quality sprint contest with MEHMAN narrowly selected to come out on top. He's shaped well on each of his last 3 starts around here at up to 7f, and he's fancied to capitalise returned to sprinting. Harry's Bar, Daamberdiplomat and Dontspoilasale are a trio of fellow in-form sorts and also demand consideration.
