Arabian Diamond won a bumper by 19 lengths and looked certain to score over hurdles at Sligo when going clear but was caught close home. This is slightly shorter and he should make a bold bid but SIGN FROM ABOVE looks the one to beat. He's been tackling 2m over hurdles and showed that staying is his game when landing a 1m6f handicap on the Flat at the Galway Festival. Silver King was always in the front rank and battled on strongly over 2m2f at Ballinrobe but Cork runner-up Zoomtime was engaged in the 3.40 at Ballinrobe yesterday. Skradin's narrow defeat to the in-form Hazelhatch Lady at Roscommon reads well and he's only had five career starts.
