Verdict

Hard to get away from HARRY'S DIAMOND, a well-bred newcomer from the Willie Mullins stable who starts out in a bumper that may not take much winning. Point scorer Ellis Redding is appealing, while Long Goodbye might be the pick of those with experience having chased home Champion Bumper fourth Boycetown when last seen at Christmas.
