The Shaughraun made a fair debut at Gowran and will know more this time as will Inaworldofmyown, who made his debut at that same Gowran fixture. Canadian Diamond has been given a break since well beaten in very testing conditions at Thurles and can do better though, as ever in these Irish bumpers, Willie Mullins will be expected to have the upper hand with newcomer Digeanta, who is related to a winning hurdler. He'll probably do better in time, however, so the vote goes to Katie Walsh's mount BE ALL MAN, an expensive purchase who is related to some classy performers on the Flat and out of a mare who won over 1m3f in France.
