FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - DON DIABLO could be worth another chance after failing to justify favouritism at Tramore last time. Winner Runrized got a good ride around the outside that day, and whenever he eventually did come good he was always likely to put in a performance for Willie Mullins with his 121 rating. A Henry de Bromhead newcomer finished just in front of Don Diablo then, when the selection ended up in third. It might turn out to be a better effort than it looked on the day, and Denise Foster’s runner is expected to do better on the more open expanses of Down Royal. There are a host of others with chances, and Dare To Flare has a rating of 116 which should put him bang there.
