Misty's Gift has leading claims at the weights but that was also the case at Limerick and he could only manage third. Fox Leicester placed at Wexford between a couple of modest efforts and should have the measure of both Jimmy Boy and Babylon Beach on these terms but a chance is taken on MINELLA DIAMOND. The latter returned to action with victory in a bumper at Killarney and this longer trip will suit on his hurdling debut. Baltic Bird may also improve further having had a run on the Flat last month.
