Formscan By Donal Murphy - Clearly appreciating the step-up in trip when successful over the course and distance earlier this month, FOUND A DIAMOND might now be able to follow-up. The Diamond Boy five-year-old will again be ridden by Shane Markey, who claims a valuable 7lb. One of two Harry Kelly-trained representatives in the line-up, Nelson Muntz sets the standard off a mark of 117. Upped in trip after finishing fourth on his latest outing, he was a long way in front of the reopposing Heron's Butler when they clashed at Kilbeggan in September. Pulled up and subsequently found to be lame when last seen over 11-months ago, point-to-point winner Melbourne Shamrock is of definite interest, while St Lawrence's Well and William Tell are others capable of making an impact.
A novice hurdle for five years old and upwards that are EBF eligible and that have not run under any Rules of Racing as a two or three yr old and have not won a steeplechase and have not won more than one hurdle race (excluding Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles)
Weights - 11st 4lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
Penalties - Penalty (Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles excluded) - Winner of a hurdle race 6lb extra
