Diplomacy in 'great form' ahead of Fairyhouse assignment Tom Cooper reports Shuttle Diplomacy to be in great form ahead of his engagement in the concluding Leinster Reinforcements & Brazil Piling (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Fairyhouse today. The winner of two bumpers last year, before disappointing in Champion Bumper at Punchestown, he ran a huge race to finish third in the Cheltenham equivalent last month. Now in much calmer waters, the Ciaran John Mooney-owned five-year-old will be expected register a third career win. "He's super and has come out of the race in Cheltenham in great form," Cooper enthused. "He was in the Grade 1 bumper in Punchestown, but we just couldn't wait as he wants an ease in the ground, and we may not get it at Punchestown. "I think it's a good call as he'll have his ground."
