Going - Yielding, Yielding to Soft in places (Hurdle); Yielding to Soft (Chase) changed to Soft on both tracks after Race 1. Cold

Formscan By Donal Murphy - NEWBROOK DIAMOND is taken to make it third time lucky over flights. An encouraging second on his racecourse debut here in November, he was a little disappointing when third on his latest start at Punchestown. However, Jack Kennedy later reported that his mount hung badly left throughout, and perhaps a return to this left-handed circuit will bring out the best in him. Takenasred has been knocking on the door of late and had a subsequent winner directly behind when second on his penultimate start at Down Royal. Third when last seen at Ayr, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to make the breakthrough now. Navan runner-up Barley Lane, Henry de Bromhead's Time Is A Thief and the returning Future Prospect are other leading hopes. Willie Mullins trains the latter and has won this race five times in the last six years.
