FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DIODORUS has proven a frustrating type but this looks an ideal opportunity to get a maiden win. He finished his juvenile career with a fine runner-up effort in the Listed Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown in October but has yet to replicate that effort in two runs this year. His rating has now dropped back to 95 but a reproduction of his latest effort, when third in a useful maiden at Leopardstown in May, would probably prove strong enough to win this. Winston Wolfe performed well when fourth on debut at the Curragh in June but needs to show plenty more progression to trouble the selection. Don Pedro, in first-time cheek-pieces, needs to do better than on debut in an admittedly useful maiden at Navan but being a well bred type, can improve with racing. Persina, under Pat Smullen, makes a belated debut aged four but whose dam is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner while Vocal Resurgence needs to show much more than on his debut run recently.
