Minella Diamond won a bumper here and was beaten 12 lengths when runner-up on his hurdling bow at Cork. The Wallpark had form over timber before landing a Downpatrick bumper in style while Ninth Loch has had a run on the Flat since landing a Kilbeggan bumper in June. Zoomtime made a promising start over timber at Cork while Spy looks the type to make progress. MORPH SPEED is an experienced campaigner on the level having won five times in 24 starts. He's the type his trainer does well with over jumps and is taken to make a successful debut.
