Hardy Diamond (M)
FAV
[P]
Ran well when second of 15 at Downpatrick in April and shaped as if still in good form when third of 7 to Goody Four Shoes in handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good, 3/1) 4 days ago.

Shantou Show (G)
[PT]
Twelve runs since last win in 2023 and hasn't made much of an impact this season. Hard to fancy.

Dinoland (G)

Fair 3m hurdles winner for John McConnell, but has shown nothing this season, including on his last 2 starts for new connections.

My Cullen (G)
Modest maiden hurdler for Henrietta C Knight, who showed aptitude for chasing when well held in handicap at Clonmel on debut for current connections.

Person Of Interest (G)
[PT]
Won at Downpatrick last season but largely out of sorts since and is very hard to recommend on most recent efforts.

Coillte M C G (M)
Modest form over hurdles and ran to a similar level sent chasing when fourth of 11 in maiden at Cork (2½m, good to soft, 11/1) in January. Badly hampered when failing to back that up next time and top conditional booked tackling a handicap…

Harley Street (G)
[PT]
Long-standing maiden who raced closer to the pace than ideal when well held over hurdles last time and failed to complete on sole previous outing over fences.

My Good Pal (G)
[P1T]
Modest winner over hurdles, who was well held on completed start over fences last season. Had been shaping notably well prior to unseating late on the other occasion and enough promise on most recent start over hurdles to suggest he return…

Cocoplum (M)

Remains a maiden after 19 runs and showed nothing starting out for a new yard after 21 months off on return. Cheekpieces back on for handicap chase debut.

Mini Getaway (M)
Reliable sort who has made the frame on 5 of his last 6 starts over hurdles and won a point in January. Looks very interesting on chasing debut.

Mastermind (G)
Snapped a losing run of over 8 years when landing a 15-runner handicap at Down Royal in April, beating Hardy Diamond by 1¾ lengths. That race panned out well for him, though, and while a similar effort would put him in the mix, he is not s…
