Verdict
ARAHECAN made too many mistakes on his chasing debut at Cork but put matters right at Down Royal where he won with plenty in hand. Diamond Turf was in very good form earlier this year but appears to have lost his way and has only been dropped 1lb while La Tektor hasn't done as well over fences as expected. The Priests Leap makes his debut over fences after just three runs over hurdles while Triplicate, twice a winner over hurdles and on the Flat, has run in strong company over the bigger obstacles. Dis Donc, Ujumpthelastuwin and Cavalry Master are very closely matched on their efforts behind Farmix at Fairyhouse.
