Going - Heavy. Overcast, breezy
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Michael Graham - The market is likely to revolve around the 131-rated Ethical Diamond and there is a feeling that the best is yet to come. On his penultimate start, he was good enough to finish fourth in a handicap on the Flat at Royal Ascot for Willie Mullins. He may not want the ground as testing as this, though. Gordon Elliott's KAINSBOURG didn't run his race when last of four in a Navan maiden hurdle, but has notable French form on heavy ground and is worth another chance. Bumper winner Quint Major can improve upon a fifth place on hurdling debut at Limerick, while reserve Cardcounter could get into the mix if getting a run.
