DON DIABLO is an obvious starting point here having been placed in all three starts under Rules, including his hurdling debut at Naas. However, only just beaten in his only start between the flags he may do better over further though the same applies to his main rival Elite Charboniere, a winning bumper in France who had been racing over longer trips than this until outpaced at Cork. Blackstair Rocco was beaten a length in a point at Stradbally in December but Skol disappointed when well supported on his debut in a Galway bumper. Glentruan was engaged here yesterday.
