Verdict

A fiendishly-competitive closer in which it could pay to side with CHOSEN DIAMOND, who looked a big threat to the front-running winner when crashing out at Navan last month so Edward Cawley's 8-y-o can make amends at the expense of Storm Mahler, who showed a good attitude to notch a second win of the season at Limerick over Christmas. Happy Dreams, C'est Rien and Mighty Jeremy can do battle for the minor placings.
