Verdict
WESTERN DIEGO went for £125,000 after landing a point at Carrigarostig a year ago and has joined Willie Mullins. His pedigree is all about stamina so today's trip should prove ideal. Will Do started out under Rules with a fine run over timber at Punchestown before a fair effort in what looked a strong Leopardstown bumper while For Fear Of Frost also made his debut over timber on this track when chasing home the very impressive Impaire Et Passe. Suttons Hill couldn't get close to It's For Me at Navan last weekend but the winner is very highly regarded.
