Forecasts

Found A Diamond (5/6), Rebel Budz (3/1), Wartime Leader (8/1), Chisum (9/1), The Goose's Acre (10/1), Paudie's Wings (14/1), Barnahash Mason (28/1), Mister Loolah (33/1), Cant Touch This (50/1), Katie's Casper (125/1), Barnahash Hill (125/1)

Verdict

FOUND A DIAMOND sets the standard on his runner-up effort at Cork 3 weeks ago and the way he stuck to his task on that occasion suggests this trip will be well within range. Chisum is feared most starting out for a yard in good order.

  1. FOUND A DIAMOND (IRE)
  2. CHISUM (IRE)
  3. THE GOOSE'S ACRE (IRE)
